This is a charming and rarely performed parlor waltz by the French composer Emmanuel Chabrier. It is characterized by its light, melodic grace and the sophisticated harmonic inflections typical of his early style.
The primary challenge is maintaining a light, fluid waltz-rhythm while balancing the delicate melodic lines.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
Alice is rated Henle level 4 of 9 — intermediate repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 5–6. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 6.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 4 — meaning you can already play level 3–4 pieces cleanly. Learning it one level early is possible as a stretch piece, but more than that usually leads to months of frustration.
A typical performance of Alice lasts about 3 minutes.
Alice is available as free public-domain sheet music on IMSLP — the score is linked directly from this page.
