5

Beware the unusual key signature (B flat, E flat, C sharp, F
sharp): this is the Hungarian minor scale on G.
This piece is rather somber, with contrapuntal, Bach and Romantic influences.

Note: for the pieces with unusual key signatures, the accidental convention is still the usual one, namely, accidentals keep for the duration of one bar.
