 Inquiétude refers to a state of restlessness or agitation. The expressive marking that perfectly describes this state is “agitato.” In the sequel, 18 Etudes, the 8th piece is explicitly titled “Agitato,” so please refer to it. Both pieces are written in E minor. What kind of anxieties might be present? One should aim to play it as if it ends in an instant.

Performance Points (Original Tempo ♩=138)

The defining characteristic of “agitato” is the rhythmic bite of the right hand. As shown in the musical example, try practicing the rhythm by isolating only the first note of the left and right hands. Figurations involving leaps, such as in measures 5 and 6, should be played with a little more expression. The staccato chords in the left hand should be played with a light touch, as if lifting the hand rather than pressing it down. Conversely, the single-note bass line from measure 24 (2nd bracket) should be played with weight.
