Quelques remarques d'interprétation - some performing remarks :

Les mesures et rythmes de la première section doivent être interprétées avec beaucoup de souplesse -
Time signatures and rhythms of the "rubato section" must be performed with much flexibility.

Les pédales sont indiquées de manière sommaire et ne sont que des propositions élémentaires ne demandant qu'à être développées -
Pedals indications are written briefly ; they are only elementary proposals which must be developed.

Les altérations sont valables pour toute la mesure -

The accidents are valid for all the bar.

Quelques signes - some signs :

m.d. (mano destra) : main droite - right hand

m.s. (mano sinstra) : main gauche - left hand
