E minor, 2/4 time, Allegretto a piacere.

Albeniz's debut work, composed in 1882. Although it lacks grand climaxes, it is a beautiful salon-style miniature, characterized by its crisp duple meter rhythm and elegant yet refined melodies.

Dedicated to Princess Isabel. The character of the piece undergoes a complete transformation in the middle section, which modulates to E major. It would be interesting to create a contrast with the E minor section by performing the E major part with a slightly more expansive or dramatic phrasing.
