Composed in 1829, this work was published in the music newspaper 'Berliner Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung' in June of the same year. It is a short piece, spanning two pages and lasting just over a minute. The piece features a contrasting structure, with crisp sections where both hands alternately play eighth notes juxtaposed against melodic sections that utilize the resonance created by the pedal, adding interest to the composition. Its dynamic range extends from pp to ff, allowing for enjoyment of its varied character despite its brevity.
