In F-sharp minor, 2/4 time, marked Allegro vivo. As its tempo marking suggests, this work possesses a lively character and was composed by Fauré at the age of 65. Throughout the piece, sixteenth notes cascade across both hands. Furthermore, it emphasizes the whole-tone scale while highlighting the repeated ascent and descent, one of the characteristic techniques in Fauré's works.
