Performance Guidelines
- While improvisation is required, there are certain aspects that must be strictly adhered to. One is to maintain the "triple meter" (3/4 time) under all circumstances. Care must be taken to avoid the piece sounding like quadruple meter due to excessive duration, or for the timing to become distorted. Avoid taking undue time on ornaments such as trills. Conversely, longer notes, such as quarter notes, must be given sufficient duration to maintain coherence with shorter notes. This constitutes one crucial point.
- Another crucial aspect is to maintain a clear sense of direction. In the first half, measure 6 should be treated as the peak, with a gradual increase in dynamics leading up to it. In the latter half, measures 13-16 modulate to G minor. The decision regarding the peak point—whether it is around this section, or perhaps around measure 19 where the ascending passage begins from measure 17—is left to the performer. In any case, in the latter half, too, please vary the "color" according to each key, determine a peak point, and ensure that the sense of direction leading towards it is not lost.
