Schiffmacher's Opus 87 is a representative example of 19th-century salon waltzes written for domestic consumption. It emphasizes charming melodies and idiomatic, accessible keyboard figurations.
Achieving a fluid, dance-like pulse in 3/4 time is the essential goal for this piece.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
