The second piece, in A-flat major, is an Allegretto in 2/4 time. Continuing from the previous piece, the left and right hands consistently play different rhythms. Here, the right hand plays eighth-note triplets, while the left hand plays eighth notes. The melody is carried by the upper voice of the right hand's three-note chord. This three-note chord is marked with physically impossible slurs. Therefore, it requires careful consideration of the balance and touch between the upper and inner voices. The left hand's intervals between adjacent notes often exceed an octave.
