Analysis
This flashy showpiece, as the name suggests, conveys images of flashing sparks through the use of a staccato theme and extremely fast scale passages, which require a great deal of technical ability. The piece is written in the key of B-flat major and in time. A happy and lively mood is consistent throughout the piece although the dynamics are nearly always quiet.Étincelles has a duration of about three minutes.
