A short piece written by Sauguet for Marguerite Long's late-career publication, "La Petite Méthode de piano" (The Little Piano Method). It is in 3/4 time, Andantino con malinconia, and A minor. A languid, slightly sleepy melody in the right hand floats over a soft left hand with a syncopated rhythmic pattern. It teaches legato and cantabile playing, and introduces the style of a lullaby. It is at the level of Burgmüller. While Long's method primarily focuses on fundamental finger exercises, a significant feature is that, in addition to Sauguet, many distinguished composers contributed their own distinctive short pieces.

Pieces such as the following made their first appearance here:

In 2009, a collection titled "Album de Marguerite" (Marguerite's Album) was also released, featuring only the short pieces (20 works by 17 composers) from the method book. It is certainly worth revisiting.
