Tranquillo, Cantabile. Perform with a tranquil heart, singing expressively and savoring each note. The left-hand accompaniment is distinctly Russian in character. At the beginning, the two-measure phrases, from measure 5, gradually expand through the ascending figure in the right hand and the descending figure in the left hand, forming a long four-measure phrase. It is as if the view is broadening. From the second beat of measure 9, the left hand rests, and the right hand sings out loftily in a solo, reaching a mf climax in measure 12. The numerous sharps (accidentals) that begin here impart a brilliance, like sunlight reflecting on a snowy landscape. However, that climax, not entirely clear, is played with a minor triad (Cm), and gradually follows a descending line, showing a transition between light and shadow. The right-hand solo that reappears from the second beat of measure 24, this time accompanied by a diminuendo, resembles a monologue revealing inner thoughts, and dissolves into a seemingly endless succession of 'E's applied to all of the last four measures.
