The fifth movement, "Sehr schnell" (very fast), is another fast and energetic piece that features complex rhythms and intricate melodic lines.

The eighth movement, "Sehr langsam" (very slow), is a slow and mournful piece that features long, sustained chords and a haunting melody. The final movement, "Sehr schnell" (very fast), is a lively and exuberant piece that brings the composition to a thrilling conclusion. Overall, "Bagatellen (9)" is a diverse and engaging composition that showcases Cerha's skill as a composer and the pianist's technical abilities.
