The primary aim for this piece is to play it rhythmically and lightly, ensuring it does not become slow-paced or ponderous. Furthermore, particular attention should be paid to the accent markings. Given that the rhythm is somewhat unfamiliar and akin to pop music, there are sections where the rhythm is felt on the off-beat; in these instances, the accents should be emphasized.

For example, in measures 5-6, there are two accents in the right hand of measure 5 and three accents in the right hand of measure 6. Emphasize these specific points to articulate the off-beat notes.

Another point: contrast is desired. For instance, in measures 3-4, use no pedal whatsoever, aiming for a dry performance. Then, in measures 5-6, employ the pedal to create a distinct difference from measures 3-4. Subsequently, measures 7-8 should be played without pedal, and measures 9-10 with pedal. Measures 11-12 serve as preparatory measures leading into the climax at measure 14; therefore, the use of the pedal is permissible here.

In the dry sections, emphasize short staccatos.
