Emphasize the alla breve meter and play with propulsion. The composer also wrote, "Play so that the music always flows onward and forward." In an A-B-A' structure, A and A' are in A minor, and B is in C major, with the same motif, developed through stepwise motion, being played. Since it is the same motif, the moment it transitions to B, the difference in color from the preceding section should be clearly expressed. Although the dynamic is the same mp, it would be good to strongly imagine the pure and bright timbre characteristic of C major and play as if it suddenly brightens up. On the second beat of measure 20, an A minor dominant chord sounds (half cadence), and in the subsequent measures 21 and 23, when the A minor motif is played twice by the left hand, it returns to A'. For the f in measure 28, ensure to feel strength and energy in the sound.
