The third piece, in D-flat major, is in Allegretto tempo and 3/4 time. It requires differentiation between the melody carried by the right hand's upper voice and the inner voice played with staccato eighth notes. From measure 61, the left hand employs a sustained note technique with appoggiaturas. Together with the staccato in the right hand's inner voice, this suggests Chopin's intention for this work to have a light touch.
