The theme of this piece, "Légèreté et accents" (Lightness and accents), is inscribed below the title. The abrupt transition from strong, accented motifs at f or mf to light, staccato motifs at p appears to challenge the performer. This seems to be a playful "trick" from the composer, Absil. The right hand remains at p except for the beginning and end. Suddenly, the left hand introduces "threatening" figures such as "C-B-C! C-B-C! D-F!" in measure 4; however, it is crucial to maintain composure. In measure 13, there is a tendency for the dynamics to increase, influenced by the left hand; therefore, it is essential to maintain p by ensuring clear separation. This sustained restraint ultimately appears to culminate in a profound sense of fulfillment and relief, as both hands resonate fully at f.
