An early piano piece with disputed dating: older references give 1886-87 or 1887, while the scholarly index gives 8 May 1889 and identifies it as an examination exercise on a bass supplied by Anton Arensky. The range 1886-89 expresses uncertainty between these datings, not an established period of composition. It is not a vocal song or one of the Op. 23 preludes.
