First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.The Sick Doll, Op. 39 No. 6, is a hushed, mournful miniature by Tchaikovsky. Its slow melody arrives in isolated notes, with pauses and delayed inner chords giving the music an unsettled, sighing quality. The opening repeats a small melodic pattern over sustained bass notes. A contrasting phrase places longer tones above a lower answering line before the first section repeats. The continuation climbs to a stronger, higher peak, then gradually descends and softens. In the final passage, paired melody notes narrow the texture into a low, quiet close, with a final slowing and a sustained minor chord. At the opening, the bass, inner chord, and melody enter at different points within the measure, creating three staggered layers from very few notes.
