This is a keyboard arrangement based on the opera 'Azémia' by Nicolas Dalayrac. It captures the theatrical energy of the period with bright, sparkling melodic figures.
Consistent control of the Alberti bass patterns is essential for technical success.
Azémia (Op.7) is rated Henle level 4 of 9 — intermediate repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 5–6. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 4.
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 Azémia (Op.7) lasts about 4 minutes.
