The Left hand plays the note first, while the right hand bounces off the same note in a ricochet.Use the right-forte pedal lightly and constantly, but do not blur, the pedal must be used in accordance with each rubato and phrase, as in Chopin but subtly enough to render Molto Cantabile e Brilliante.
