The part that follows this piece is played in F-sharp minor and ends quietly after a brief switch to C minor. This piece is sometimes transposed up one semitone due to problems with harp peddling in the original key, seen especially in arrangements of the work by Victor Couer. A tender piece performed mostly pianissimo, it commences in D-flat major, but moves to E major for its climax. Preceded by "Menuet" and followed by "Passepied," it is properly the third part of the Suite Bergamasque, and takes its name from a poem by Paul Verlaine.
