1. Duetto 2. Zingara.

1. Duetto: Dedicated to Magdeleine Godard. (J.2370 H)

2. Zingara: Dedicated to Louise Steiger,(J.2371 H). “La Zingara” is an orchestral transcription; it is naturally better understood if heard with the varied orchestral timbres which color it, and the vigorous snatches which punctuate the rhythm lend themselves but imperfectly to the piano. It needs solid mechanism, and stolid rhythm in order to render a somewhat “brutal” impression in the part in A minor. The song in the second part should be played “appassionato,” the tone always full and vibrant. It is “La Zingara” of the crisp hair and ardent eyes: it is not tender, it is passionate; it is therefore necessary to avoid all coquetry. (Chaminade, Cécile. “How to Play My Best Known Pieces.” The Etude 26 (December 1908): 759–760.)
