Op.148: Scherzo-valse

Publisher: Enoch
Date: 1913

Instrumentation: piano

Dedicated to Marie-Anne Sallentin. Scherzo-Valse is an expanded and more virtuosic reworking of Album des enfants, Op. 126, No. 6. While preserving the principal thematic material of the earlier piece, Chaminade enriches the harmonic language, broadens the formal design, and develops a more brilliant pianistic texture, transforming a pedagogical character piece into an independent concert work. (Enoch 7542).
