Joseph Kaspar Raff's Op. 16 is a charming piece that exemplifies the graceful and melodic style of the Romantic era. Its title 'Always Pleasant' aptly describes its cheerful disposition and smoothly flowing melodic lines.
Maintain a light and graceful touch, with attention to the flowing sixteenth-note passages and clear melodic voicing.
