Léonie Tonel was a French pianist and composer whose salon works were widely published in the late 19th century. 'Alice' is a gracefully constructed waltz that emphasizes melodic sweetness and harmonic warmth.
The performer must balance the waltz-rhythm bass with a flexible, expressive rubato in the right-hand melody.
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 4 minutes.
Alice is available as free public-domain sheet music on IMSLP — the score is linked directly from this page.
Pieces at a comparable difficulty and character include Au gré des flots by Léonie Tonel, Bridal Gifts by Léonie Tonel, Waltz No. 2 by Dmitri Shostakovich — see the full similar-pieces list on this page.
