Regarding this short piece, which serves as the finale of the collection of short pieces, Prokofiev himself recounts in his autobiography a memory of "often watching the moon rise over the fields and meadows of Polenovo from his composition hut." Within the bright key of D major, an atmosphere of slight reluctance to part occasionally emerges. The right and left hands proceed in unison, but the low D note appearing in the left hand from measure 61 resonates like a bell tolling the evening hour. As if gradually fading away with such a bell sound, the music quietly concludes.
