G-sharp minor, Alla breve (2/2 time), Allegro

The main challenge lies in the right hand's trills and chromatic scales in double thirds. Chopin developed innovative fingerings in his piano works, and this piece exhibits the following characteristics:

  • A technique for playing chromatic scales in double thirds by sliding the same finger.
  • Finger leaps and crossovers.

By incorporating these techniques, Chopin is considered to have expanded the possibilities for beautiful legato playing in this work. The techniques of finger leaps and crossovers (point 2) would likely require subtle adjustments in wrist height and flexibility of the wrist and elbow.

While the right hand plays brilliant ornamental figures, the left hand, following a circular accompaniment pattern, creates a sighing motif with descending triads, thereby heightening a sense of unease.
