Compared to Palmgren's work on the theme of "Venice," Gondolier of Venice, Op. 64-a-1 (1918), this piece is considerably darker and imbued with a sense of tragedy. In 9/8 time, an accompaniment of chords evoking the undulation of waves progresses, depicting a fantastical melody. The melody, which proceeds with augmented fourth and augmented fifth intervals, seems to wander uneasily.
