Please perform with striking volume and speed. In the opening anacrusis, the left-hand G and B could ostensibly be omitted, but by deliberately including the accompaniment on the off-beat, an even greater sense of speed emerges. The same applies to the off-beat in measure 2. Considering everything, a somewhat flamboyant performance in terms of both tempo and volume is deemed appropriate.

In the first half, the highest note in each measure will be either D or E-flat. You may play the E-flat slightly louder than the D. In the second half, A-flat in measure 13 serves as the peak point, so please create a sense of direction leading towards it.

In measure 16, there is a momentary sensation of modulation to C minor, but in measure 17, one cannot help but perceive the Neapolitan sixth of G minor. As the dominant of G minor is strongly felt in measure 21, it can be considered that the music has returned to the tonic key here.

Measures 25-28 serve as an echo to measures 21-24, so the volume of one section should be either stronger or weaker than the other.
