The bagatelles were written with two aims in mind: to be performed in concert halls, and to be used for teaching purposes. In the latter case, among the twenty independent items of differing degrees of difficulty not only music school students but those engaged in intermediate and advanced level studies will find pieces to suit them.For performance purposes pieces may be selected at will, or gathered together in groups of varying size. The chosen works can be presented to the audience as Five bagatelles, Seven bagatelles, and so on.
