Alexandre Goria was a popular salon composer, and this Berceuse is a classic example of mid-19th-century French Romanticism. It centers on a soothing, rocking melody over a fluid accompaniment.
Creating a seamless cantabile line while balancing the accompaniment in 6/8 time is essential.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.

You should be comfortable at Henle level 3 — meaning you can already play level 2–3 pieces cleanly. Learning it one level early is possible as a stretch piece, but more than that usually leads to months of frustration.
