It is believed to have been composed around 1847–1848, based on its style, which is reminiscent of his very late mazurkas, and Liszt's testimony. Although it bears no dedication, an autograph manuscript, paired with a posthumous nocturne owned by the Rothschild family, was discovered and published in 1955 after World War II. The melody of this Allegretto waltz is said to originate from Polish children's dances. It is written in a free rondo form.

Writer: Saitoh, Noriko
