LeschetizkyThis work became a prize-winning piece in a composition competition organized by Leschetizky, leading to its publication by Simrock. Originally, three pieces composed and submitted as separate miniatures all won prizes and were published together with a title conceived by Simrock. The premiere was given by Schnabel himself in 1899.

A subtle sense of world-weariness pervades the work, merging with virtuoso passages characteristic of the Leschetizky school, thereby creating a fantastical atmosphere.
