Written during the period between Pièces pittoresques and Bourrée fantasque. Composed in 1885, it is one of the works written under the impression of his trip to Spain in 1883. Although Cortot did not give this piece a high evaluation, Chabrier himself was fond of this short piece and also made an orchestral arrangement of it.

A sweet theme unfolds expressively to the rhythm of a habanera.
