Türk’s Volume 1, No. 13 is a tender A-minor piece with a sighing melodic character. Two independent voices weave through pauses, chromatic notes, and small rises in intensity.

After the upbeat, measures 1–2 balance a descending melody with an answering ascent. The lower voice enters late and briefly overlaps the upper phrase.

Measures 3–4 bring both lines downward and introduce the raised note that sharpens the minor-key cadence. A short pause separates this thought from the next.

Measures 5–6 repeat closely spaced, chromatic upper notes with a small dynamic contrast. Measures 7–8 make one final upward gesture before both voices settle into the ending.

Interesting fact: Its historical title, ‘Gefühl der Wehmuth,’ identifies a feeling of wistfulness or melancholy, matching the minor-key setting.
