A work composed in 1933, consisting of three short pieces.

No. 1: Ariette

Following an introduction with frequent meter changes and written in a canonic style, a short main section in 4/4 time begins. Near the conclusion, as diatonic unisons in both hands are played with a staccato touch, the introduction is briefly recalled.

No. 2: Rêve (Dream) - 12/8 time

A graceful melody, reminiscent of a solo instrument, is delicately accompanied by chords.

No. 3: Gigue - 6/8 time

This gigue is built upon three voices forming chords. Even though sections like the one where the main motif of the piece is heard, and sections centered on diatonic melodic movement, are written with similar staccato, the work allows for an enjoyable differentiation of touch to suit the desired sound.

Writer: Saitoh, Noriko
