Composed in 1906, consisting of the following four pieces:

  • 1. No. 1: "In Autumn" Against the persistently swirling motion of the left hand, the right hand dramatically juxtaposes clusters of short notes with long notes, building to a climax. Performance duration: approximately 1 minute.
  • 2. No. 2: Based on a Lithuanian folk song. It exhibits a classical and mystical character, with polyphonic movement and frequent use of trills. The chords of a fourth intertwined with chromatic motion are striking. Performance duration: approximately 2 minutes.
  • 3. No. 3: It unfolds with a strong sense of swing, over which the main notes develop chromatically. Incidentally, the counter-melody in this piece is the same as that used in the left hand of No. 2. Performance duration: approximately 40 seconds.
  • 4. No. 4: It is played powerfully from the outset with thick chords. The left hand takes the lead, and accents emphasizing the rhythmic pulse imbue the piece with dynamism and drive. Performance duration: approximately 50 seconds.
