A gentle lilting movement with a suggested tempo of 132 quarter note beats (crotchet) to the minute which is used in the realisation. This piece needs a needs to be played with a slight speeding up and slowing down of the tempo at appropriate places in the score which is described as “tempo rubato’” and features in much of the best Chopin playing. Understand that the realisation doesn’t apply rubato in a totally satisfactory way. In Bar 21 there is a triplet option sounds for the playing of the ornaments whilst the trill in the penultimate bar begins on the lower note. The original piano work does have some additional ornaments which the appropriate performers may wish to consider adding after studying the s piano score. The repeats are not played in the playback mp3. Piano accompaniments are also in place.
