Bourrée: Molto Allegro, G minor, Alla breve. It is a lively dance that forms a pair with "Perpetuum Mobile," beginning with the same leap of a fourth in the parallel key of "Fuga." The middle section and coda are in G major, where a flowing melody is sung over a sustained pedal tone played throughout the entire section, with the una corda indication. Since the Bourrée is originally a dance originating from regions such as Auvergne, it can be interpreted as a remnant of the drone sounds of bagpipes or hurdy-gurdies.
