It is a lullaby in small rondo form. This piece should generally be played plainly, without much rubato or tempo fluctuations. The notes within a phrase should not be played marcato individually; rather, each phrase should flow smoothly as a single entity. To achieve this, one must consider where the peak point of a phrase lies, where the resolution note is, and so on, to avoid a flat delivery.

However, this is not a piece that requires strong emotional input, and applying extreme dynamics would also be inappropriate. Within a limited dynamic range, the music should flow effortlessly and smoothly.

Form

• A: Measures 5-12
• B: Measures 13-28
• A: Measures 29-36
• C: Measures 37-52
• A: Measures 53-60

In the B and C sections, mezzo forte and forte appear, so you may increase the volume to some extent. However, refrain from overly harsh forte and be careful not to play marcato notes.

Although it was previously stated that the tempo should not fluctuate, only at the end of the B section (measure 28) and the end of the C section (measure 32) should you slightly pull back (slow down) the tempo before entering the next section (however, the music must not stop).
