At the beginning of the class, Professor Helmerson thinks that the student is underestimating herself, and therefore he suggests her to be more confidence and not be afraid of exaggeration: she needs a greater liveliness for the strong and cheerful character of this movement. Then the professor makes a brief approach to the emotional state of the creative genius and includes a commentary on J.S. Bach. Concerning this rondo in particular, they work on articulation and character - which is very Rossini, as well as on bowings, control, distribution and bow speed.
