Bataille de fleurs is a salon piece by Théodore Lack that captures the lightness and charm typical of late 19th-century French piano music. It is marked by graceful melodic lines and sparkling figurations.
The challenge is to perform the rapid decorative runs with a light, airy touch and precise pedaling.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
