This is the earliest published work among Rochetrolle's compositions for two pianos. Rochetrolle favored waltzes and composed many romantic waltzes for solo piano, but this work, rather than being romantic, is rich in humor and wit. It is also enjoyable to fully appreciate the dynamic sonorities characteristic of two pianos. A distinctive feature of Rochetrolle's two-piano works, including this one, is the absence of cumbersome cues, which facilitates smooth ensemble playing. The ability to practically learn the crucial aspects of dialogue and coordination with a co-performer, which are more important than cueing, would be a significant advantage. As an introductory piece for two pianos,Czerny's School of Velocity, Op. 299, to play it casually. It would also be well-received as a repertoire piece for recitals. Fast waltz tempo, 3/4 time, C major.
