This piece with modern harmonies is relatively difficult in both technique and interpretation. Sparse pedal, technic must be clear, rapid and precise. Alternating hands, rests, staccato is very present, a moderately fast and precise rhythm tempo with scales, arpeggios; chords, octaves, and leaps, are the difficulties that one was one must master. This mastery permits the listener to enter into the « shivering » atmosphere of these nocturnal creatures which show themselves little by little to begin of devilish dance interrupted by the first signs of dawn and they disappear just as they appeared. Once learned this piece will be interpreted in a spirit of brilliant « joyful devilry ».
