Under the title, the theme of this piece is stated as "Energie des accents, opposition des nuances" (Energy of accents, opposition of nuances). The tempo is Allegro moderato. While the left hand continuously repeats the V and I (without the third) in C major, the right hand is in G minor. Against the accented, repeated notes in the left hand, one should always feel an energy, as if experiencing the resistance encountered when striking a hoe into the soil. Furthermore, while the right-hand melody is full of vitality, it seems to convey not so much a refined brilliance as a pastoral simplicity, a rustic quality, a feeling of weariness from daily farm work, and other human aspects.
