Throughout the piece, a characteristic rhythmic figure (two sixteenth notes + one eighth note) constantly resounds, transforming its shape while evoking a somewhat nostalgic atmosphere. In the melody, chromatic movements like those in the second piece are rarely observed. Fully utilizing the melancholic tonality of A minor, the sound of the chords struck in the interlude (measures 15-21) adds a new color to the music, as if depicting a world from a fairy tale.
