Below the title, "Sonorités claires" (meaning "with clear sonorities") is inscribed, indicating the piece's objective. "Giocoso" signifies "playfully."

In the left hand, the pattern "La-Fa-Sol-Do" (A-F-G-C) is repeated throughout the entire piece. "Clear sonorities" can be achieved if the keys are struck quickly and instantly while the piano is in a resonant state with the pedal depressed. Absil himself does not use pedal markings in this collection, but this likely implies that the use of the pedal is self-evident rather than indicating it should not be used. In measures 7-9 and 15-17, the right hand features accented half notes, which should resonate as if bells are being struck splendidly. This piece serves as an excellent teaching material for mastering strong key strikes that capture the core of the sound and the subsequent relaxation after striking. The clear imagery of "bells" also contributes to its high educational effectiveness.
