Bizet orchestrated six of these; in addition to No. 8, Nos. 6, 3, 2, 11, 12 became his Petite Suite; it is probable he also orchestrated No. 4.

The suite consists of three movements: [3] Prélude; Sarabande; Toccata; The first movement, called Prélude, is marked "Assez animé et très rythmé" (With spirit and very rhythmically).
