TEACHING NOTES
This movement starts on an upbeat, so avoid placing too much accent on the first pair of notes and notice how the 3rd chord in EACH hand, does NOT have the wedge sign - it should be longer (0:05). The following semiquaver section of the rondo theme should have a little rise and fall in it to give it shape (0:39). Speaking of dynamics, you will notice that none are written. For a good mark at this grade you MUST add a dynamic interpretation of your own. In this video for example only, notice how the chords are quite strong in bar 40 but then for the next 8 bars there is a decrescendo (1:06). The tricky section from bar 60 could also be quieter to start (1:37) but then building to a triumphant finish.  Indeed a little crescendo in the first half of each of bars 69 and 71 would probably help you tackle the quick semiquaver thirds (1:49 and 1:53).

When starting off practising this piece it might be an idea to start with the most challenging sections (bars 36-40 and 60 to the end) building  your speed gradually with a metronome, and remembering no matter how busy it gets, to keep the music within a refined, classical Mozartian style.
