Balbastre was a celebrated French keyboardist, and this piece displays the characteristically nimble, light-textured style of the French late Baroque. It is a vibrant, rhythmic work emphasizing motoric energy.
Maintain a crisp, detached articulation throughout to keep the rapid sixteenth notes from blurring.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
Canonnade is rated Henle level 4 of 9 — intermediate repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 5–6. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 6.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 4 — meaning you can already play level 3–4 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 Canonnade lasts about 3 minutes.
Canonnade is available as free public-domain sheet music on IMSLP — the score is linked directly from this page.
