This is an alternating melody where the right hand plays a half-beat after the left hand. The left hand plays an ascending figure, and the right hand plays a descending figure. The last note of the left hand's ascending figure coincides with the first note of the right hand, and both notes have tenuto markings. These tenuto notes form a chromatic sequence: E, F#, F natural, G. The title is "By the River", and while nothing specific is depicted, it would be beneficial for the performer to imagine living things or objects moving gradually. Unisons also appear frequently in this piece; for these, aim to match the pitch precisely, as a string player would, and be mindful of harmonizing the left and right hands well. Furthermore, it is crucial to play alternating passages with precise timing. By carefully playing the alternating passages, chromatic sequences, and unisons, depict the scene by the river, which possesses a quiet sense of tension.
