Composed in 1871.

The first piece, Nocturne, is in F major, 2/4 time. Melodic and harmonic sections alternate, repeating twice. In the melodic sections, the right-hand melody stands out, but in the second repetition, the left hand also carries part of the melody. In the harmonic sections, sonorities reminiscent of A major and D-flat major can be perceived.

The second piece, Humoresque, is in G major, 2/4 time. It is largely composed of chords, giving it an overall rich texture. After a vibrant G major section, it modulates to E-flat major in the middle section. In the G major section, a contrast between heavy and light is evident, while in the middle section, a clear difference between motion and stillness is apparent. Passages predominantly featuring quarter and eighth notes are soft, while the appearance of sixteenth notes introduces lively motion. After returning to G major, it concludes with a majestic tonic chord.
