The Promenade, inheriting the melancholic afterglow of the fourth movement, concludes with the motif of this work, the 'chick's' chirping, played as if a premonition, leading into this piece. Today, it is the most beloved and frequently performed piece within this suite. The original drawing for this piece is clearly identified as a costume design for the ballet Trilby, and the music is consequently highly descriptive. The theme at the beginning expresses the chirping and jerky movements of chicks, while the trio section in the latter half takes on a humorous sound, reminiscent of ballet music.

It is played attacca from the previous piece. It is believed to be a piece inspired by the dancing of canary chicks clad in eggshells like armor, for which Hartmann created illustrations for the stage performance of the ballet 'Trilby'. In this Scherzino vivo leggero, the una corda pedal is held throughout. The music unfolds solely in the high register, passing by like a fleeting gust of wind.
