In the beginning (2006) opens with a quiet, three-note motive, which is repeated in progressively shorter note lengths, ushering in the melody in left-hand octaves. The middle section begins as a canon, which then builds to a return of the first theme. A mirror response to the opening section ends the piece, with fast notes becoming gradually quieter and longer in length.
