In 3/4 time, F major. It is in ABA ternary form. The A section is in F major and features a light melody with dotted rhythms. The subsequent B section modulates to the dominant key of C major and is structured with each measure forming a phrase.

While it is good to play precisely with a stable tempo, maintaining balance between the left and right hands, there are a few pieces of advice. In measures 3 (beats 2-3), 7, and 15, the right and left hands play the same note. There are two possibilities here: either the left hand plays the notes for beats 2-3 alone, with the right hand not playing during that time, or the left hand plays only B while the right hand plays C.

Either approach is acceptable, but both have their advantages and disadvantages. If played by the left hand alone, it is technically easier, and the risk of misplaying is reduced. However, there is a possibility that the melodic line may not emerge clearly.

On the other hand, if the right hand takes it, the melodic line can be clearly heard, but since the hands come quite close, there is also a possibility of misplaying.

The author would choose the latter option. This is because I believe it is better to make the melodic line clearly audible with the right hand. However, learners should consult with their instructors to make a decision.

Other points to note:

Measures 4, 8, and 16 are all resolution chords of the preceding measures' chords. Therefore, the volume should be reduced compared to the preceding measures (measures 3, 7, and 15).

It is desirable to vary the dynamics between measures 9-10 and 11-12, to avoid the impression of mere repetition.
