First published: 2026-09-30T18:32:07+00:00. Completeness: unknown.The unbarred opening on printed page 9 begins with a sweeping rise and fall across the keyboard, followed by broad, resonant chords. In the un poco a piacere passage, flowing lower-register figures unfold beneath held tones and pass between the hands.On printed pages 10–11, the chordal theme returns between quick flourishes. Veloce arpeggios and rising sweeps alternate with quieter passages marked misterioso, where a running lower line supports sustained upper chords. Sudden accents and high-register surges repeatedly expand the sound.On printed page 12, soft upper chords lie over changing low figures before a brief rising chordal surge. The Poco meno, molto tranquillo passage brings a broader melody and flowing accompaniment. A soft Lento recitative follows, then Tempo I restores the opening pace.Across printed pages 13–15, a continuous running line supports repeated statements of the chordal theme. The texture thickens into paired notes, builds through broad crescendos, and alternates forceful chordal returns with quieter flowing passages. Rising figures lead toward the final page.On printed page 16, descending octave and paired-note figures pass from the upper register into the bass. The texture gradually softens and settles into lower flowing figures and descending chords. A final arpeggiated resonance leads to a very quiet sustained close.
