Considering elements such as the soprano's mournful cry in measure 3, the disorienting triplet appearing in the tenor (upper voice in bass clef) in measure 6, the soprano's chromatic progression for three measures from measure 25, and the Neapolitan sixth in measure 34, it can be regarded as an expression of sorrow, though not a grand drama.
After the theme in measure 1 and the expression of sorrow in the secondary theme in measure 3, the piece repeatedly ascends and descends for a while, following sequences. Measure 21 is a section that feels calm in A major, but a mournful theme emerges in measure 22. From here, it gradually moves towards the peak point. Reach the peak point between measures 27 and 28 without ever lowering the tension. Arrive at the fermata in measure 29 with a slightly slower tempo.
The point of highest tension from here on is the right hand reaching B in measure 33. Then, the Neapolitan sixth is introduced in measure 34. In measure 36, the tension remains high with a major 7th (first beat) and a diminished 5th (third beat). The disorienting triplet reappears in measure 37. From there, reach measure 39 with a descending sequence, and gradually calm down from there.
Although it is not a grand drama, please play it by sensitively perceiving the details, such as intervals, chord types, tension, and sense of calm.
