Regarding the performance of the Minuet I from the Mozart's Serenade K 375, Schellenberger firstly corrects the phrasing of the beginning, as well as the dynamics and character (more joyful, not so 'dolce'). Besides, the professor makes some comments on articulation and the best way to interpret the apoggiatures depending on the harmonies.
After some other indications on accents, music direction and cues, Schellenberger comments the different possibilities of repetitions in the Minuets, mentioning as an example some of Beethoven's Symphonies. Finally, the professor advises not to play the repetition for this specific case.
