It is composed of phrases that tell a story in a detached manner, reminiscent of Kabalevsky's Op. 88-2, "The Story of the Old Organ Grinder." The melody is folk-song-like, and due to the left and right hands playing in unison two octaves apart, each part can be heard as an independent character. It is interesting to imagine scenarios such as an old man and a child singing. The tempo is Andante. While maintaining a sense of propulsion, one should play it with enjoyment without rushing. The note that was B-flat on the first beat of measure 2 changes to B natural in measure 6, the second occurrence of the same passage. This single note difference will make the atmosphere in measure 2 and measure 6 feel quite distinct. Although it is a melody that tells a story in a detached manner, a slightly richer melodic line can be heard from measure 5 to measure 6.
