Although an unfinished work, do not play strictly according to the score; try to compose the remaining parts yourself. The left hand is essentially a walking bass, consisting of a continuous series of constant eighth notes, similar to a walking pace, so composing it should not be particularly difficult.

The bass line disappears from measure 10, so begin composing from this point. Measures 10-12 are considered to modulate to A-flat major, so choose notes that satisfy this modulation. The following is an example:

  • 10 F ↘C↘F↗F↗
  • 11 G↘Es↗F↘D↗
  • 12 Es↘B↘Es↗Es↗

From this point onwards, the piece returns to C minor.

  • 13 F↘D↗Es↘C↗
  • 14 D↘H↘G↗↗(10th above)H↗
  • 15 C↘F↗G↘G↗
  • 16 C

Measures 13-14 were designed to reach a peak point by having the left hand move in contrary motion to the right hand. For your reference.
