 It is also called "Homecoming" or "Return," but from where is the return? The author's theory is as follows: Since titles reminiscent of Italian scenery continue after No. 19 "Ave Maria," the composer is traveling to Italy at this point. Could this No. 23 be depicting the "return journey" from that trip? It feels as if the joy and relief of gradually approaching familiar cityscapes after a long journey to a foreign land are expressed.

Performance Points (Original tempo: dotted quarter note = 126)

 Let's focus on the phrasing of the 8-measure introduction. What is the meaning of the accent appearing on the strong beat for the first time in measure 8? If played at dotted eighth note = 126 as indicated by the composer, it becomes a rather fast and difficult series of repeated chords. Use a motion where the back of the hand is lifted with the wrist as the pivot, with the sensation of not playing all the way to the bottom of the keybed. From measure 17, intense modulations continue. In measure 24, while building a crescendo with momentum, return to the main section all at once.
