Composed in 1875, this piece is based on the melody of the well-known Norwegian folk song "The Northern Peasant." It is a relatively large-scale work with frequent tempo changes, thus requiring strong structural coherence in performance. While taking the form of a kind of variation, the theme is first presented with a long, sustained slur.
