The autograph manuscript is housed at the Stiftelsen Musikkulturens Främjande, a music cultural foundation in Stockholm.

Composed between 1830 and 1832.

E-flat major, 3/4 time, Allegretto.

An exercise in playing arpeggios with both hands. From the perspective of physical exercise, the flexibility and agility of both wrists and forearms, as well as quick pedal changes, will be challenges.

The highest note in the right hand functions as a melody while also serving as a constituent note of the chord. The lowest note in the left hand supports other voices as a bass note, but if one focuses solely on the bass voice, it can also be heard as a counter-melody to the right-hand melody.

The sparkling sound of the high notes and the wavering nuance changes of the chords are impressive.
