This piece, with so few notes, becomes paradoxically very difficult. The tempo marking is Allegro, but it's not a metronomic Allegro; ideally, the half note should be around 90, otherwise the piece will sound drawn out. It expresses the joyful feeling of riding a rocking horse. Be careful not to play at too slow a tempo.

Although a very short piece, for analytical purposes, the form can be considered ABA:

• A: Measures 1-4
• B: Measures 5-8
• A: Measures 9-12

As an idea, consider two different characters, friends, or singing voices interacting. One is the right hand, the other is the left hand. It is desirable for these two to have different timbres or vocal qualities.

Let's look from the beginning. In measures 1-4, the melodic line peaks at G. The G in measure 3 can be the loudest (although there is a G of the same pitch in measure 2, it is at the end of a phrase, so the author personally feels the G in measure 3 should be stronger). The author's score does not have dynamic markings. Starting from mp or mf would be acceptable. In measure 4, as it's a chord resolution and the end of a phrase, accents are forbidden. From the G in measure 3, descend gradually with a diminuendo along the scale. Similarly, the left hand should apply a diminuendo as it ascends.

In the B section, choose between a dynamic contrast between measures 5-6 and 7-8, or a dynamic contrast between measures 5 and 7 versus measures 6 and 8. In any case, the last note of each of these four phrases in this 4-measure section descends, so the final note should fade away. Never add an accent. Especially for the right hand, as the last note of the phrase is played with finger 1, be careful not to apply too much force.

Regarding articulation: The author's score has legato lines. If one were to strictly adhere to this, the first two notes of each of the four phrases are the same note. Playing the same note inevitably creates a break when re-articulating. Ideally, this would be covered by the pedal, but that would be a very difficult task, so here, try to connect them as much as possible with the fingers. Using the same finger, such as 1-1, is acceptable.

In the A section (measures 9-12), the left hand has a "Sopra" indication. Assuming one follows this score, the left hand should be more singing than the right hand, and the left might be slightly louder than the right in terms of balance. In any case, the left hand should end by fading away, ensuring no accent on the G in measure 10 or the C in measure 12. However, regarding the G in measure 10, differing opinions are acceptable.

The ending should be slightly slower.
