Modéré ("at a moderate tempo"). This piece is in ternary form: A (measures 1-16), B (measures 17-56), and Aʹ (measures 57-72).

The basic tonality of section A is E minor, and its figuration creates a light and precise impression. In section B, slurs are frequently used, and it begins with a D major sonority; therefore, it would be good to aim for a brighter timbre, conveying a sense of larger movement and undulation. On the other hand, in measures 33-35, the right hand continuously plays chords almost always containing diminished fifths and augmented fourths, and since the key is not clearly established, it can be interpreted that an unstable, searching expression is indicated by "expressif" (expressively). Be aware that the tonal sense of G major is clear at the end of this piece, and conclude brightly.
