Like the preceding No. 4, this piece was composed in 1884 and published the following year by Hamelle. It is dedicated to Madame Marie P. Christofle. The middle section features richly singing inner voices, characterized by a "three-hand" texture often found in 19th-century piano works. The opening material resonates impressively in the coda.
