First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.Little Study is a bright A-major miniature whose flowing upper turns repeatedly give way to detached notes. A regular moving bass connects the changing melodic gestures. Measures 1–8 alternate curling sixteenth-note figures with shorter, more separated answers. The second phrase recalls the first while changing the approach to its cadence. Measures 9–12 introduce a quieter turning figure and a softer repetition of it. The upper rhythm becomes less continuous, leaving room around the paired notes. Measures 13–16 restore the opening motion and grow stronger toward the final cadence. The familiar figure supplies both the return and the closing flourish. Interesting fact: The middle phrase is repeated at a reduced dynamic, moving from moderately soft to very soft and creating an echo within just four measures.
