The bear cub is depicted pesante (heavily) in the left hand, and the rabbit cub leggiero (lightly) in the right hand. The rabbit cub, following the motif sung by the bear cub, sings it lightly twice in 16th notes, which truly seems like teasing and is very humorous. One can almost visualize the leisurely, self-paced bear cub and the mischievous rabbit cub! From measure 7, even the self-paced bear cub appears to be furious with the rabbit, moving towards two f chords in measures 9 and 10 with a crescendoing ascending line. These two chords should be played with full energy. Although the rabbit cub momentarily flinched with a diminuendo in measure 10, from measure 11, neither gives an inch, creating a standoff, crescendoing, like a sumo match! Play through to the final ff of the piece!
