The rich, overtone-laden sound of arpeggios melting into the pedal evokes the reverberation of a grand cathedral, similar to that in No. 19, "Ave Maria". Is it a coincidence that a half cadence on the dominant of the submediant key is used again at the end of the middle section (bar 16)? Regarding the chord with sf in bar 30, editions with E-flat in the bass, interpreted as a "German sixth chord", were once common. However, recently, editions with E in the bass, interpreted as a "diminished seventh chord", following the original manuscript, have become more prevalent.

Performance Points (Original ♩=152)

This exercise focuses on smoothly transferring arpeggios from the left hand to the right hand, and from the right hand to the left hand. While large wave-like figures like those in bars 1 and 2 are fine, it becomes more challenging when large leaps occur during the transfer, as in bars 3 and 4. In bars 13-16, pay close attention to the contrary motion between the bass and the first finger of the right hand. The  cresc.  in bar 26 should be imagined with an allargando feel, accompanying the expansion of the right-hand's range. For the descending figure from beat 4 of bar 28, mentally bracket the auxiliary notes and play it as D-H-G-D-H.
