A rare pedagogical work by Ezecchielini, this piece demonstrates the standard early 19th-century salon style. Its distinctiveness lies in its adherence to symmetrical periodic phrasing and simple, optimistic harmonies.
The student must manage the crisp, detached articulation required for the bass line while keeping the right hand fluid.
