Levitzki enjoyed a glittering career as a concert pianist, but he also transcribed numerous works, prepared a cadenza for Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto, and wrote small pieces for the piano. Among his most popular compositions for piano were The Enchanted Nymph, Valse in A, Valse tzigane, and Gavotte.

Lucy Parham’s in-depth lesson on this piece, which is available in Pianist 119, offers up plenty of playing tips. Less and lighter pedalling is required in the waltz sections.
