This piece can be played rather gently and smoothly, not dynamically. To achieve this, finger pedaling is helpful. For example, if we extract the bass notes from the first 8 measures:

• 1 G A
• 2 H G
• 3 D C D
• 4 G A H
• 5 C E
• 6 C
• 7 H C D
• 8 G G

One might think it's acceptable to use the regular pedal, but if the pedal is used in "scale" sections, such as the second and third beats of the left hand in measure 2, the sound will become muddled, so this should be avoided. In that case, if you play the bass note G on the second beat with the 5th finger and play the subsequent notes while holding it down, you won't use the actual pedal, thus avoiding muddiness in the scale, and at the same time, the bass will not disappear, resulting in an ideal performance.

In places like measure 21, if you actually use the pedal, first, the right-hand trill on the first beat will linger. Even if you change the pedal on the second beat, the left-hand F-sharp will then linger and muddle with the subsequent G.

Please try to refrain from using the actual pedal and play so that the bass notes are sustained using finger pedaling.
