At first glance, this piece may appear to be a toccata-like, technically demanding work. However, in the case of an allemande, it is desirable to play it slowly and elegantly. Therefore, choose a tempo that does not make the sixteenth-note triplets sound rushed, and perform with legato and grace.

While proceeding at an excessively slow tempo tends to flatten the overall dynamic flow, clues for dynamics can be found by identifying specific notes. Regarding the right-hand voice, in measure 3, the note with the longest duration is A on the off-beat of the second beat. This then descends stepwise in the following measures: G on the off-beat of the second beat in the next measure, F in measure 5, and E in measure 6.

Similarly, the soprano B on the first beat of measure 7 descends stepwise to A on the third beat, and then to G on the first beat of measure 8. By taking a broader view, like seeing the forest for the trees, the overall flow becomes clear. Please use this as a reference for applying dynamics.
