'Cradle Song'

'Round Dance of Sylphs'

The Cradle Song, the first of the Studies, is a simple and charming piece. The melody is given twice, the second time accompanied in the right hand by an undercurrent of notes' three to a beat, against the left hand's two.
The final cadence, with its hint of the exotic, is singularly beautiful and haunting.
'The Sylphs' dance (No. 11 of the set) has all the airy and vivid impression of swift movement that we expect. It is a piece of salon music raised, so to speak, to a higher power.
