A refreshing piece that opens the collection. It is well-known even outside of piano learners, as it is used for train departure bells, among other things. There are three harmonic points of interest: the strong sense of progression from the dominant of the dominant ("Doppeldominant"), borrowed from the dominant key (G major) (m. 7); the liberating feeling of the second inversion of the tonic chord ("six-four chord") following a diminished seventh chord (m. 14); and the melancholic expression of the Neapolitan chord (m. 17, 19), which appears towards the end of the piece and uses the A-flat from the parallel minor (C minor). The first two (m. 7, 14) are emphasized by appoggiaturas (non-harmonic tones on strong beats) in the right hand.

Performance Points (Original tempo: ♩ = 152)

This is an exercise in playing the eighth-note melody legato. Smoothly shift the weight from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1 -..., rotating the wrist slightly counter-clockwise (do not rotate too much). This allows for a smooth execution of the octave leap before measure 2. Once the right hand is proficient, the piece is structured to gradually challenge more difficult tasks, such as playing with the left hand from measure 9, and performing the same movement while holding the 5th finger in measure 13.
