This is a humorous piece depicting the behavior of a “spoiled younger brother.” The recurring accented D-flat in the left hand—does it represent the spoiled younger brother throwing a tantrum and stamping his feet, or perhaps wailing loudly? Pedal markings are also indicated. Within the deeply depressed pedal, grasp the core of the three notes. Furthermore, the rests after playing these notes are crucial. During these rests, the music becomes abruptly quiet, followed by a soothing melody played by the right hand. Play the right hand legato and gently, expressing the emotional contrast with the accented, intense left hand. This is a relatable piece that captures a slice of daily life between an “older brother” and a “spoiled younger brother.” Imagine the interactions between the two in various ways and enjoy your performance!
