Originally a sentimental song, this transcription was a staple of the 19th-century salon repertoire. It is defined by its sweeping, long-breathed melody that requires careful control of tone to avoid sounding overly saccharine.
The main challenge is balancing the lyrical melody against the delicate, arpeggiated accompaniment without becoming blurred.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
