Élégie Op.126 No.7

Cécile Chaminade

What's this piece like?

Cécile Chaminade's Élégie is a great piece from her "Album for the Young" which contains beginner to mid-intermediate piano pieces. 

The Romantic lyricism is dominant in the piece, and it's a great introductory piece for the Élégie style, so popular in the late Romantic era. On a technical level, this piece is perfect to develop a deep tone and for the study of rubato.

Who's this piece for?

Ideal for intermediate pianists who like inspiring, relaxing and dreamy pieces.
