A work composed in 1932. Like Capriccio for Two Pianos (1952), Bagatelle for Violin and Piano (1932), and Caprice in C major for piano solo, this work was derived from Masquerade. Masquerade is a secular cantata for baritone and chamber orchestra based on a poem by Max Jacob.
From the beginning of the piece, impressive music reminiscent of cheerful, even carefree, steps commences. Meanwhile, the Piu lento section features a melody somewhat reminiscent of 'Golliwogg's Cakewalk' from Debussy's Children's Corner. Overall, the contrast between major and minor intervals contributes to the atmosphere of this piece.
