Composed in 1934.

No. 1 in C major, 2/4 time

Dedicated to Dr. Raymond Mallet. This is a fast-tempo intermezzo, with the instruction "con fuoco" at the beginning. Brief sections in 3/4 time and 5/8 time are occasionally inserted. Both in the opening chords and in the two-voice sections, a crisp clash of sounds can be heard.

No. 2 in D-flat major, 4/8 time

Dedicated to Countess Jean de Polignac. Brief sections in 2/8 time, 2/4 time, and 3/4 time are occasionally inserted. At the beginning, the melody is placed in the middle of three voices. On either side, chords with a characteristic off-beat rhythm evolve the sound.
