‘Recitation like a monologue of a poet’ rather than a song, and ‘piano, which induces the poem’s intonation and energy, also participating in that’ - these are the framework of this piece. The poet, who monologizes a sense of vanity, while staying at the pitch D, then exclaims on the wide leaps of intervals, and finally returns to A♭(the remotest – or maybe the closest – tone from D).
