Once the happy part (or major, as some music snobs would call it) play it in a different tempo. I don't agree with faulty that it should go slower though. I think you should start in the same tempo, and then go faster and faster, as you'd speak, full of excitement!Imagine that you hear really good news, and that you tell everyone about it. You'd start in a normal speed, and end up in uncontrolled ecstasy. That's the true way of playing Mozart. That's the true way of speaking it, and therefore the way of playing piano!

I was just going to ignore you because of the unhelpful sarcasm but I'll address this tempo issue again.

Spoken speech has numerous minute tempo changes.  I referred to it as rate of speech earlier.  However, no one notices these minute tempo changes.  Likewise, there are numerous changes in the speed in music, but good execution makes these changes invisible because the listener is focusing on what is being expressed.  Poor execution of expression results in the listener hearing more than just the tempo changes but all the minute details of articulation, dynamics, phrasing, etc.
