This waltz by Edgar Gomes de Lima is representative of minor-composer salon literature from the late 19th century. Its structure is repetitive and relies on a sweet, accessible melodic contour.
At Henle 3 this is a late-beginner piece — comfortable hands-together playing is assumed, and musical shaping starts to matter. The main demands: a waltz lilt that needs charm and a flexible left hand; careful pedaling — clarity depends on the foot as much as the fingers; and a true singing tone, with the melody floating above the accompaniment.
Work on the coordination between a steady left-hand waltz bass and an expressive, slightly flexible right hand.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
A level or two down with the same spirit — ideal if this piece is still out of reach.
Where this piece's skills lead: slightly harder works making similar technical demands.
Como és mimosa is rated Henle level 3 of 9 — late beginner repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 4–5. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 5.
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 Como és mimosa lasts about 3 minutes.
