Consider this piece as a dialogue between two individuals or two instruments. Given the pervasive chromatic progressions, the mood of the piece should be interpreted not as optimistic, but rather as an expression of a certain sadness or something akin to it. Therefore, it is recommended to perform with legato, avoiding articulations such as staccato. The structure is reminiscent of a Chromatic Fantasy. Rather than adhering too strictly to the metronome, it may be effective to slightly deviate from the tempo to convey a sense of improvisation.
