This short piece is interspersed with tone clusters (chords formed by simultaneously sounding densely packed notes) from beginning to end. This creates a unique sonority not found in his previous short pieces. At an Andante tempo, these mysterious sound clusters seem to represent raindrops or the faint glimmer of a rainbow. While the musical character is somewhat unstable, it never becomes dark, revealing Prokofiev's characteristic humor.
