Bonheur by Henri Hartog is a brief, graceful character piece reflecting the salon traditions of the late 19th century. Its distinctive charm lies in the simplicity of its harmonic progressions and optimistic melodic contour.
Focus on bringing out the principal melody while keeping the accompanying textures secondary.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
Bonheur 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 Bonheur lasts about 3 minutes.
Bonheur is available as free public-domain sheet music on IMSLP — the score is linked directly from this page.
