The footsteps of children fleeing from the "oni" (ogre) are depicted by "Vivo" (lively) eighth notes. The left-hand rhythm supporting these eighth notes, with its leaps, also evokes the image of children bouncing around. Throughout, the music is constructed without any disruption to its rhythm or character, but the dizzying modulations, similar to those in the fourth piece, Tarantella, lend a unique color to this short work.
