A charming and evocative salon waltz, reflective of the French light music style of the late 19th century. It emphasizes fluid melodic phrasing over complex technical bravura.
Work on achieving a graceful, swaying waltz feel without rushing the downbeat.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
