Composed in 1834, this piece was published posthumously in 1931, in the 20th century. However, a facsimile edition preceded it, appearing in 1925.

This Andantino, written in B-flat major and 6/8 time, takes the form of a two-part structure with the character of a nocturne. Although it is a mere 14 measures long, Chopin's compositional style is condensed within it.
