Prélude I/4: Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l'air du soir, L. 117 No. 4

The opening material is a motif that feels like five beats against the written three, rocking on a falling and rising fourth. Then the development begins, and a fragment of the opening returns with the same five-beat feel. A new section follows, then the return, a closing phase and the coda, which ends with distant horn-like calls.
