A commissioned work by the Hattiesburg Piano Teachers League in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Among Rocherolle's compositions, this work leans towards the elementary level, suitable for students who are at or beyond the first half of Burgmüller's etudes. The level setting likely reflects the requirements of the commissioning organization. Despite the sparse texture, the pieces skillfully employ chromatic shifts to evoke rich harmonies. Careful attention to accidentals is required when studying these pieces. Although straightforward, each piece is of a considerable length, spanning two to three pages, making them suitable for recitals.
