The following points are important concerning the Baroque period performance practice appropriate for this Polonaise :

Most quarter notes in the left hand should be played slightly detached
Mordents (such as in measure 1, first beat) begin on the main note and are played very rapidly, ON the beat
Appogiaturas (such as in measure1, second beat) are played ON the beat and take up one half of the main note's value
Trills (such as in measure 13, second beat) begin on the upper auxiliary note and are played ON the beat
