The suite consists of six movements, each of which is characterized by its unique melody and rhythm. The first movement of the suite is titled 'La Belle Iris' and is a lively and energetic piece. The second movement, 'La Coquette', is a more playful and flirtatious piece, characterized by its quick and light melody. The third movement, 'La Gracieuse', is a slower and more graceful piece, with a more flowing melody. The fourth movement, 'La Modeste', is a more subdued and introspective piece, with a more melancholic melody. The fifth movement, 'La Timide', is a more hesitant and uncertain piece, with a more tentative melody. The final movement, 'La Capricieuse', is a more whimsical and fanciful piece, with a more playful and unpredictable melody. Overall, 'Altfranzösische Mädchenbilder' is a charming and delightful suite, characterized by its lively and playful melodies, as well as its more introspective and melancholic moments.
