01 / The first 30 seconds
30-second entrance
Enter through the left hand sway. It is the room’s breathing; the right hand is the voice inside it.
00:00–00:40: follow the left hand first; do not rush to sing the melody.
02 / LISTEN FOR
Three things to wait for
- The steadiness of the left-hand sway
- Small pauses at phrase endings
- Ornaments like thoughts remembered mid-sentence

Version / performer information
Nocturne versions differ by rubato: too free falls apart, too strict stiffens. Hear whether it speaks naturally.
