For better clarity, this score contains suggestions for realizing the ornaments in accordance with the performance practice of the Classical period.

These ornaments are :

• Appoggiaturas (measures 5, 15, 22 and similar) : appogiaturas are to be played on the beat, taking up one half of the main note's value
• Cadential trills (measures 43 and 45) : cadential trills are played ON the beat and begin on the upper auxiliary note. As shown in small print in the score, we suggest adding an termination to cadential trills
