The main theme banters with a delightful rhythmic shifting between the accompaniment in the typical ¾ time and the melody, which, in its turn, is heard in duple time. Robert Schumann called this waltz a “salon piece of the most noble type”, one which, in spite of all its brilliance and virtuosity, can still be mastered by advanced amateurs.
