Under the title, "Souplesse de la main gauche" (Flexibility of the Left Hand) is written, indicating the technical challenge of this piece. Throughout the piece, the left hand quietly accompanies the expansive melody of the right hand with sixteenth notes played pp. Slurs are notated in the left hand, grouped every four measures. These slurs indicate phrasing and do not necessarily imply a strict legato execution. For instance, one might imagine a guitar and play with a light touch. A characteristic feature is the staggered phrasing between the left and right hands, with each singing independently. The left and right hands perform their respective roles as if oblivious to each other, but they harmonize at the climax six measures from the end, then together proceed towards the final pp note, bringing the piece to a quiet close.
