A Humming Song is a gentle C-major miniature with a plain, songlike melody and a continuous rocking accompaniment. Its soft dynamics and overlapping phrases suggest an intimate tune sung under the breath.
Measures 1–8 place the melody above an eighth-note accompaniment. In measures 9–16, the principal line moves into the bass while the upper part supplies the motion and adds chromatic color. Measures 17–24 restore the opening texture, with a slightly higher melodic rise before the quiet final cadence.
Interesting fact: The main tune changes register in the middle section, so the apparent accompaniment becomes the singing voice.
