Under the title, the challenges of this piece are stated as “Précision du rythme-notes détachée-accents” (Precise rhythm, detached notes, accents). For the left hand, ensure to fully observe the eighth-note rest on the first beat to maintain a steady pulse. The Pavane is a solemn dance in duple meter.

Enjoy creating a tone color that suits the elegant and nostalgic atmosphere.
