I think of this piece as an exciting children’s story, the(meaning less) is of course the answering phrase to the preceding bar. The next bar is marked before the middle section. However, don’t overdo the contrast in dynamics in this piece. The middle section is marked ‘a little more movement’ and I actually accelerate gradually towards the crescendo in bar 32 before slowing a little and then more at bar 36. Finally, bars 37 to 41 are the main technical challenge I think, so slowly does it at first!
