No. 12 "Children are Asleep"

E minor, 2/4 time. ABA three-part form. In the A section, centered around the note B, the same rhythm is alternately repeated in the right and left hands, and this cradle-like motion leads the listener into a dreamlike state. In the B section, it modulates to E major, the parallel key. Remaining quiet throughout, the piece ends without resolving to the tonic chord. The world of sleep seems to expand endlessly.
