This is a lyrical waltz characteristic of late 19th-century salon music, focusing on melodic grace. It is notable for its lush harmonic palette and smooth, flowing transitions between phrases.
Use a subtle, warm pedal to connect the waltz accompaniment figures without blurring the harmonic changes.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
