La leggierezza (lightness) is a monothematic piece with a simple melodic line in each hand. Technical difficulties include rapid leggiero chromatic runs, often with irregular rhythmic groupings, and passages in sixths and thirds. Un sospiro (A sigh) is a study in crossing hands, playing a simple melody with alternating hands, and arpeggios. The melody is quite dramatic, almost Impressionistic, radically changing in dynamics, and has inspired many listeners. Evelina Puzaite
