The English title is "The Juggler." This piece evokes the image of a juggler gracefully tossing balls. The overall atmosphere is scherzando, emphasizing a humorous and cheerful impression. The left hand maintains a stable, light juggling rhythm.
Play the right-hand ornaments quickly to avoid a heavy sound. It is important to play the sixteenth notes clearly and vividly, ensuring they do not stumble. Focus on the flexibility of your fingertips to create a light and nimble tone.
From bar 15, the musical atmosphere changes, and lively sounds resonate. This passage is reminiscent of a fife and drum corps, with trumpets and drums blaring. Rather than playing too neatly, emphasize the interesting qualities of the sound and build a lively crescendo. By creating significant dynamic changes, a sense of realism is achieved, as if something is approaching from a distance.
From bar 19, focus on making the left-hand bass melody sound full and prominent. The crescendo gradually creates the effect of a marching procession drawing nearer. Clearly express the transitions between sections.
Throughout the piece, it is important to strive for a performance that vividly conveys the juggler's movements. While maintaining a sense of humor, refine the piece with attention to detail.
