Alla breve time signature. C major, 12 measures. Among Akira Miyoshi's 12-volume piano method, scales appear from Volume 3, marking the beginning of exercises for shifting finger positions. 《Ryote no Ohanashi》 (A Story for Two Hands) is a piece that, alongside finger position shifting exercises, also introduces rudimentary contrapuntal music. Since the same motif is repeated alternately between the right and left hands, as indicated in the instructions, it is crucial how one can create a sense of connection, as if the right and left hands are conversing. The ritardando and fermata at the conclusion require expression within a natural musical flow.
