No. 3 in F major "Paysage" (Landscape)

In F major, this piece is pastoral and quiet, reminiscent of a landscape painting. The insertion of this piece between the dynamic No. 2 and the dramatic No. 4 appears to be a deliberate consideration of the balance and contrast between dramatic and poetic elements. Entering the middle section, marked "Un poco piu animato il tempo," the tempo fluctuates somewhat and the dynamics build up to ff, but it ultimately concludes by returning to its original tranquility.
