No. 3 "Tarantella" is a work based on a theme by Jérôme Louis Cottleau (1797-1847) and is often performed independently. Compared to the previous two pieces, its performance time is slightly longer, and technical passages are prominent. Tarantella refers to a folk dance from Southern Italy. It is also famous for the legend that dancing this dance cures one after being bitten by the venomous spider, the tarantula. It is a vibrant dance in 6/8 time, and since the 19th century, it has been used in piano pieces by composers such as Chopin, as well as in this work.
