The composer writes, "Just because the title is what it is, playing at a mechanical, metronome-like tempo will not be enjoyable. Cherish the natural flow of the music." I interpret these words to mean that by not being bound by the metronome, but rather by valuing the pulse of 2/2 time and playing with a pleasant sense of rhythm, a sense of precision akin to a metronome will naturally emerge. Furthermore, the rhythmic motif in the left hand at the beginning appears throughout the piece; it is also important to play this rhythm accurately without stumbling. Regarding the instruction "Cherish the natural flow of the music," I believe that being mindful of the coherence of four-bar phrases will improve the musical flow. Additionally, there are sections in this piece, such as measures 7-8, 17-20, and the beginning of the Coda, that feature chromaticism, creating an interesting ambiguity as to which key they will resolve to. Enjoy the unexpectedness of the eventual resolution.
