The album was premiered in Paris in 1868, and is the final installment of Rossini's "Sins of Old Age" series. The movements of the album are as follows: 1. Prélude prétentieux 2. Un enterrement en carnaval 3. Petite fanfare pour un homme de lettres 4. Une caresse à ma femme 5. Un sauté de carpe 6. Une larme 7. Un rêve 8. Un regret 9. Un sourire 10. Un soupir The characteristics of the album are typical of Rossini's late style, which is characterized by a lightness of touch and a sense of humor. The pieces are generally short and playful, with a focus on melody and rhythm. The album is also notable for its use of programmatic titles, which suggest a narrative or emotional content for each piece. Overall, "Péchés de vieillesse, Book 5 (Album pour les enfants adolescents)" is a charming and whimsical collection of piano pieces that showcases Rossini's wit and musical craftsmanship.
