The left hand, which depicts rain, is marked "secco," meaning "dry." The staccato in the left hand should not be played with forced shortness or vitality; instead, it should be executed with relaxation, in an inorganic manner, conveying a melancholic mood as it carries the music. The melody in the right hand repeatedly features a sigh-like descending melodic pattern. The note "B" from measure 10 is repeated multiple times with a tenuto marking. This seems to overflow with a sentiment akin to "Oh, how I detest this!" The recapitulation from measure 16 features a slight variation in the melody and builds in intensity with a crescendo, leading towards a six-measure long tone on "B" from measure 23 to the end of the piece. The left hand is marked "marcato" (meaning "distinctly"), and the staccato will become sharper, displaying intensity.
