Composed between 1912 and the following year, the score was published in 1913.
No. 1: 5/8 time, Andante
The upper voice of this piece frequently employs chromatic movement, while the bass notes of the supporting chords feature a continuous succession of augmented fourths. Consequently, the piece is pervaded by a strong sense of eeriness.
No. 2: 4/8 time, Presto
This piece is based on a sonic structure similar to Messiaen's second mode of limited transposition. Against the eighth-note double stops in the right hand, the left hand consistently provides sixteenth-note triplets.
