　No. 24, commonly known as "Thérèse." A beautiful little piece in two movements. The opening four measures are probably the most crucial part. It took me quite a while to get this section right. I just couldn't bring myself to say "Well, that'll do." Title: Piano Sonata No. 24 in C minor, Op. 73, No. 2.
