"Elegantemente" Elegance, the ambition of senior stylists up into the nineteenth century, includes as a term in itself: objectivity, perfection of form, avoiding the pathetic and sentimental.�The first part of the variation satisfies all these conditions;� However, the player should take care at every variant of the original melody, which is resolved here in ornament, such that the listener understands the relation of both passages.� (Mozart himself is in many ways to be counted among the "elegant stylists.")

The trill should to a certain extent continue "internally" in the subsequent passage. In this view encourages us the publication for two pianos, which makes the transition this way:
