This is a forgotten salon piece by Julius C. Meininger that follows the conventions of the 19th-century character piece. It displays clear structural divisions and a lighthearted, pleasant melodic invention.
Students must pay attention to clear articulation in the right-hand figurations against the steady pulse.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
Alice is rated Henle level 3 of 9 — late beginner repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 4–5. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 5.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 3 — meaning you can already play level 2–3 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.
