TEACHING NOTES
Despite the fast suggested tempo for this Rondo, attention should be paid to Beethovens marking "comodo" indicating that this movement should never sound frantic but "convenient" and under control. Semiquaver scales should glide with effortless legatissimo.

It might be helpful to think of the main theme as a gavotte, starting on the half bar implying a firm arrival, (not an abrupt bump) over the bar line.

The wedge signs from bar 47 denote which notes to pick out with a little more attack rather than a staccato effect.
