The professor corrects the articulation for a specific note of the initial theme and, in his opinion, the performance was a little bit fast.
Then, Schellenberger gives some explanations about the variations on the duration for the grace notes and apoggiatures, and their application before or on the beat. As regards these questions, Schellenberger recommends them to read articles or essays from this period.
Regarding the character, it must be rustic and peasant. Besides, Schellenberger makes some brief comments while the group is playing again the Minuet from the beginning. At the end of the Trio, the professor suggests them to play a bit more rallentando.
