Luiz Levy's Boccaccio is a minor salon piece that emphasizes melodic development over a simple accompaniment. It is characteristic of the late-romantic South American salon tradition.
Prioritize a warm, singing tone in the upper register throughout the piece.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
Boccaccio 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 Boccaccio lasts about 3 minutes.
Boccaccio is available as free public-domain sheet music on IMSLP — the score is linked directly from this page.
