Playing tips:

The notes might seem simple enough, but you will need a deep tone as well as a good sense of line (see the long phrase markings) and a good legato technique. Keep moving (notice the ‘con moto’ at the start) and always aim towards the top RH note (follow the dynamic markings).

Try to ‘creep’ over the keys and keep the fingers close. This will help produce the much-needed legato. Almost feel that the fingers are overlapping from one to the next. The LH acts as the stable foundation, and even if it looks so simple – with just one dotted crotchet per bar – try to phrase its line. Pedal is not required.
