The use of the pedal is strongly recommended. Without the pedal, the piece becomes considerably challenging. If you absolutely cannot use the pedal, try sustaining the bass notes with your fingers in the left hand, employing finger pedaling. In other words, the piece must be played with a horizontal flow, to avoid a vertically segmented musical texture.

The melody line should be the most prominent, followed by the bass line; however, the bass line should be played with a volume that suggests it is resonating from a distant place. Never play it at the same volume as the right hand. The left hand should produce a soft, somewhat blurred tone quality. The same applies to the 6th intervals from measure 8 onwards. Play the left hand with a subdued touch.

The note that should be least emphasized is the D played by the first finger of the left hand. Although this note should be minimized, the first finger is the strongest, often leading to an inadvertent increase in volume. Ensure that D is played as pianissimo as possible.

From measures 8 to 11, gradually decrease the volume, striving for a fading, disappearing effect.
