Within a few lines, Barcarolle No 3 in G flat major leaves behind its deceptively simple opening for deeper musical waters, bright with fantastical embellishments. The whole piece has a magically improvisatory air, its fount of ideas progressing almost as if by free association.

En quelques lignes, la Barcarolle nº 3 en sol bémol majeur quitte son début plus compliqué qu’il n’y paraît pour des eaux musicales plus profondes, brillant avec des ornements fantastiques. L’ensemble de cette pièce semble relever de la magie de l’improvisation, sa source d’idées progressant presque comme une libre association.

Nach wenigen Zeilen lässt die Barcarolle Nr. 3 Ges-Dur ihren täuschend schlichten Anfang hinter sich und sucht, erhellt von fantasievollen Verzierungen, tiefere Wasser auf. Das Stück hat einen geradezu magischen improvisatorischen Zug; seine Einfälle entwickeln sich wie durch freie Assoziation.
