No. 14 in F minor

It begins with a funeral march (Lento quasi marcia funebre) characterized by augmented second progressions, leading to a heroic march (Allegro eroico) in the parallel major (F major). Then, as the motif develops through modulations to D major and E major, Gypsy-style music (Allegretto a la Zingarese) unfolds in A minor. Furthermore, after improvisatory passages in D-flat major, among others, it concludes with rapid music in F major (Vivace assai－Presto assai－ Allegro brioso). Among the pieces in this collection, it is the one with the most prominent tonal development, and its structure is somewhat complex.

Dedicated to Hans von Bülow.
