First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.

The Little Orphan is an A-minor character piece whose small upward gestures and falling answers create a plaintive, hesitant mood. Dotted rhythms, short rests, and paired notes give its melody a gently broken outline. The opening phrases rise in small waves, supported by chords and an independent lower line. A contrasting passage expands the motion into climbing intervals, then slows before the main idea returns. These exchanges recur with small changes in voicing and rhythm, and the last phrase relaxes into a subdued minor-key close. Interesting fact: The score twice marks a slower passage followed by a return to the original tempo, making hesitation a recurring feature of the music.
