Below the title, the challenges of this piece are indicated as “changements de mesures et syncopes” (changes of meter and syncopation). In Andante con moto, A minor, the note A continuously sounds in the left-hand bass from beginning to end, creating a quiet and melancholic atmosphere. Accompanied by changing meters, the first two phrases consist of a 4-bar phrase followed by a longer 6-bar phrase. One should perceive the difference in phrase length. The two sforzandos at measures 16 and 18 are the only strong sections in this piece.
The piece concludes with a Picardy third, ending as if light shines through.
