Dedicated to Jeanne Chausson, wife of the composer Ernest Chausson, the A flat major fourth barcarolle is enriched by textures that mingle smoothness, balance and decorativeness. The chief concept is harmonic adventure, especially in the central section, where material is repeated three times, each iteration modulating down a semitone.

Dédiée à Jeanne Chausson, épouse du compositeur Ernest Chausson, la quatrième barcarolle, en la bémol majeur, est enrichie par des textures qui mêlent douceur, équilibre et aspect décoratif. Le principal concept est l’aventure harmonique, en particulier dans la section centrale, où le matériel est répété trois fois, modulant à chaque fois d’un demi-ton.

Die Barcarolle Nr. 4 As-Dur ist Jeanne Chausson gewidmet, der Frau des Komponisten Ernest Chausson. Sie entfaltet einen Reichtum an Satzweisen, die Weichheit, Balance und dekorativen Reiz verbinden. Vor allem geht es um Ausflüge ins harmonisch Unbekannte, besonders im Mittelabschnitt, dessen Material dreimal wiederholt wird, jedesmal einen Halbton tiefer.
