"The harmonic resonances which can be created on the piano using the holding pedal are not often used. It is their charm which inspired this piece. In order to be able to play it on instruments which do not have this third pedal, I have dispensed with the complications caused by switching feet. The silent depression of the lowest keys at the beginning can also be done using a heavy object (e.g. a brick). Only the black keys need to be left free for use. Differences in dynamics are also important in this piece, as they are largely responsible for resonance and affect its quality. "
