A charming work by Arturo Erra, reflecting the light classical style favored by amateur pianists of the era. It is distinguished by its graceful melody and the simple but effective dialogue between the registers.
The main challenge is balancing the melody to ensure it projects clearly over the harmonic accompaniment.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
