Tuileries is the name of a park in the center of Paris. Even today, it is cherished as a place of recreation for children playing and their parents. This piece, following the weighty “Promenade”, depicts the clamor of children exhausted from playing in the Tuileries Garden. The dizzying motif at the beginning represents the children chattering and arguing, and although a slightly calmer motif (measure 14) appears briefly in the middle section, it quickly reverts to a tumultuous scene. It is an enjoyable piece with its childlike depiction.

The piece continues attacca from an inserted section with promenade elements. This piece, marked Allegretto non troppo capriccioso, is thought to have been inspired by a painting depicting the tree-lined paths of the Tuileries Garden in Paris, with many children and governesses. Compared to the preceding music, it is characterized by a light rhythm. Furthermore, the scalar melodic movements observed in places contribute to the piece's driving force.
