A boisterous person who utters words one after another like a machine gun is humorously depicted through repeated notes. Many may be reminded of "Limoges, the Market" from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.

Although it is composed almost entirely of diatonic chords, the nuance of the double dominant in measures 13 and 28 shines through.

Performance Points (Original Tempo ♩.=72)

  • The iron rule for repeated notes with finger changes is to focus more on "lowering" the finger than on "raising" it.
  • For the right hand from measure 7, repeat the notes by slightly lowering the wrist and applying weight, releasing on the first beat of the next measure. However, for the left hand's repeated notes from measure 15, play lightly without lowering the wrist.
  • The first beat of measures 8 and 9 marks the end of a phrase, whereas the first beat of measure 10 marks the beginning (or middle), so the sense of musical progression differs.
  • The same applies to the four measures from measure 11.
