Another entry in the 'flower and butterfly' thematic tradition of salon music, characterized by a graceful, lyrical melody. It relies on subtle harmonic shifts to evoke a sense of quiet, intimate beauty.
Careful use of rubato is required to prevent the lyrical melody from becoming too rigid.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
