Henri Bertini - Grandes études artistiques, Op. 122, No. 6 - Presto

Measures 1–32 alternate rising upper octave lines and descending figures with repeated chords in E-flat major and compound time. The moving line passes into the lower part beneath repeated upper chords, then returns to the upper register.

Measures 33–48 slow into broader chordal phrases, octave lines, and exchanges between the parts. Measures 49–78 introduce a quieter upper octave melody above repeated lower chords, interrupted by forceful chordal gestures and changing registers.

Measures 79–110 bring fuller chordal exchanges, short upper replies, and rhythmic lower bass figures. The music moves into B major at measure 97, with broader upper chords above the continuing lower motion.

Measures 111–125 return to E-flat major with held upper chords and repeated lower notes. The repeated figures move into the upper part before a softer octave phrase and a full-bar pause.

Measures 126–157 return to the opening octave lines, repeated chords, and descending lower figures. Measures 158–188 place softer upper octave phrases above repeated lower chords, alternating abrupt chordal accents with quieter replies across different registers. The final phrases settle into low repeated notes before the separated closing gestures.
