This waltz by Edgar Gomes de Lima follows the traditional light salon style popular in early 20th-century Brazil. It relies on a balanced bass-chord structure typical of dance-based piano miniatures.
The primary challenge is to maintain a crisp waltz lilt without rushing the downbeat.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.

You should be comfortable at Henle level 2 — meaning you can already play level 1–2 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 Bien aimée lasts about 3 minutes.
