Listen to some recordings so you'll know how the piece goes. Then have fun. It is indeed fun to play. Practice it any way you want and play it any way you feel like. You won't hurt anything by doing it "wrong."

The music will reward you and continue to reward you as you grow and learn as a musician - it is great music. Your understanding and interpretation of the piece will gradually change over time, no matter how well informed you are now or become later.

Knowledge of modern scholarship and the different styles of performance can enrich your playing of and delight in this piece, but those things have changed steadily over the years, while people's pure enjoyment of the music has continued. If you eventually want to perform it, at least keep your audience's expectations in mind.
