As the title suggests, this piece evokes the image of an elegant and delicate French doll. The work is divided into two main sections: from the beginning to measure 16, and from measure 17 to the end, both characterized by descending melodic motion. When playing, focus on creating a single, flowing line using both hands to express a natural musical progression.

Written in triple meter, this piece suggests a light waltz, easily bringing to mind a doll gracefully dancing. It is important to be aware of and feel the difference between sections moving in eighth notes and those moving in whole notes. The flow of the eighth notes should be smooth and light, while the whole notes should resonate with a rich sound. Furthermore, in sections where quarter notes are predominant, playing each note with ample energy will give the entire piece a more defined character. Pay attention to the sound quality and phrase coherence, aiming for a performance that combines both elegance and delicacy.
