While written in a style reminiscent of a canon, for instance, with the left hand introducing the theme from measure 5, there is no strong imperative to overtly emphasize the canonic aspect. Instead, it is advisable to maintain a balanced interplay between the left and right hands.

This piece, though 16 measures long, can be divided into four phrases. These are neatly separated into four-measure segments: measures 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, and 13-16. The crucial point is to imbue each of these four phrases with a distinct character. Avoid playing all four in a uniform, flat manner.

Since measures 5-8 are higher in pitch than measures 1-4, the tension should be elevated in this section. The interpretation may become subjective regarding measures 9-12. Should the dynamic level in measures 9-12 be increased or more restrained compared to measures 5-8? Consult with your teacher to decide.
