contents Let $f$ be a holomorphic Hecke cusp form of weight $k$ for $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$, and let $(λ_f(n))_{n\geq1}$ denote its sequence of Hecke eigenvalues. We compute the first and second moments of the sums $S(x,f)=\sum_{x\leq n\leq 2x}λ_f(n)$, on average over forms $f$ of large weight $k$, in the regime where the length of the sums $x$ is smaller than $k^2$. We observe transitions in the size of the sums when $x\approx k$ and $x\approx k^2$. In subsequent work (part II), it will be shown that once $x$ is larger than $k^2$ (where the latter transition occurs), the average size of the sums $S(x,f)$ becomes dramatically smaller.
