Valse Triste is expressive and interesting, although not one of the most distinguished of the set.
Burlesque is a musical number, bright in spirit and free from commonplace.
Bluette is a beautiful piece of tone painting.
Traumerei has a certain beauty of its own, indicating the composer's capacity for deep expression.
March Wind is full of the wild open-air breeziness associated in our thoughts with the subject of its inspiration, and captures the imagination.

The study has a background of spaciousness that suggests American scenery.
Impromptu is interesting and musical.
Polonaise has brilliance and is well and effectively conceived for big pianoforte tone production.
