True to the indication Andante tranquillo, the piece begins calmly and quietly. A clear C major tonic chord is played p, and the theme, articulated by eighth and sixteenth notes, evokes the chirping of birds echoing in the radiant morning sun. From the middle section (measures 8-23), a new melody emerges in the left hand, accompanied by expansive eighth-note figures. At measure 18, this beautiful melody shifts to the right hand, and the eighth-note movement is transferred to the left hand. From measure 24, the opening theme is recapitulated, and the music concludes, maintaining the same atmosphere. Both its musical character and title make it a fitting miniature for the opening of the collection.
