In Japan, this piece, titled "Goodbye, Winter," is still widely cherished today, having been featured in elementary school textbooks.

In C major, 3/4 time, and 12 measures long. Although a short piece, its structure is a clear A-B-A form.

The gentle melody and the left hand, harmonizing in sixths, blend together as if a gentle spring breeze were blowing.

One part is always in motion, played without pause, evoking a sense of nostalgia while also holding hope for what comes next, giving the impression of a positive "goodbye."
