No.5, being a study - leggiero and scherzando - of grace notes (on the beat, then ahead of the beat) and accented passing tones, sounds even odder than No.4 until relief is provided by a ravishingly beautiful melody that appears in the middle part (under a pattern of rich embroidery in the treble). At the end, only the grace notes remain. We hear them struck six times insistently before they turn into a trill and are swept away by a loud, slow arpeggio up the keyboard. Some people have heard the outer parts as suggestive of a mazurka and the central one as reminiscent of a barcarolle.
