No. 7 is a toccata, or "touch piece," based on the technical problem of alternating right-hand thirds and sixths, the lower note of which requires changing fingers, while the left hand occupies itself with an underlying accompaniment as melodic as it is witty and charming. Again, Chopin proves himself a magician, as he directs our attention away from the technique and toward the music. No wonder that Huneker asked, "were ever Beauty and Duty so mated in double harness?"
