Composed in 1884 and published the following year by Hamelle, this Nocturne is dedicated to Mercy-Argenteau. In E-flat major, it is marked Andante molto moderato. The opening section is characterized by descending perfect fourths, reminiscent of the sound of bells. Furthermore, it deviates from the traditional "ABA'" ternary form, being written in an "ABA'B'A''B'' Coda" structure.
