A Spanish salon waltz composed by Martín Sánchez Allú, reflecting the provincial influence on 19th-century piano music. It is notable for its gentle, song-like melodies that evoke a sense of localized sentimentality.
Pay close attention to phrase shaping and maintaining a singing tone in the upper voice.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
Berlín is rated Henle level 3 of 9 — late beginner repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 4–5. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 4.
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.
A typical performance of Berlín lasts about 3 minutes.
Berlín is available as free public-domain sheet music on IMSLP — the score is linked directly from this page.
