In 2/4 time and G major, the piece is in ABA ternary form. The continuous appearance of sixteenth-note stepwise motion throughout the work creates lively music. The melody, meticulously marked with staccato and tenuto indications, conveys a whimsical yet somehow graceful impression.

In this piece, tempo-related indications are absent, with the exception of "poco sostenuto," which first appears in the final measure 42. Consequently, the piece should proceed steadily, almost in sync with a metronome. This makes expression through dynamics and balance essential, rather than through tempo variations.

Expression through Dynamics

Let's discuss examples of expression through dynamics. For instance, playing measures 1-2 at mp, 3-4 at p, 5-6 at mp, and 7-8 at mf would likely be effective.

Expression through Balance

Next, let's discuss balance. From measures 18-25, try playing the right hand's 3rds at pp, as if they were string instruments. In this context, phrase the left hand as the melodic line at around mf. The first goal should be measure 20, and the next goal measure 23.
