[Instrumental character portrait: an impeccably proper young girl with an extraordinarily active inner world] [Intro: clear lyrical piano theme, graceful and immediately personal] [Main theme: warm piano carries her composed outward personality; elegant chamber strings add tenderness without sentimentality] [Inner thoughts: small independent piano phrases appear between the main phrases — quick observations, associations and unfinished ideas, never becoming busy] [Character: the main melody remains calm and poised while several tiny musical thoughts quietly unfold underneath and around it] [Enjoyment: a warm harmonic turn and a relaxed phrase — she is perfectly content sitting there with her ice cream] [Notebook: one precise recurring little motif returns like a thought she wants to remember] [Ending: the main theme settles, while one final tiny thought appears almost as an afterthought]
