Debussy composed the Petite Suite in 1888 when he was 26. The period up to 1890 was a time in which Debussy's later distinctive impressionistic style has not yet emerged. The Petite Suite shows the influence of the French lyric opera composers Gounod and Massenet as do most of Debussy's pre-1890 compositions. The work could be considered neo-classical because it contains pseudo-dance movements and because of the style of Keyboard writing used through which Debussy pays a kind of homage to the French clavecinists.

It was the ?Slavonic Dances for Piano Duet? op. 46 which brought Antonín Dvorák unexpected international fame. An unerring business instinct led Fritz Simrock, at the beginning of 1878, to ask the Czech composer for some works for piano duet into which Dvorák incorporated musical themes from where he grew up. Following in the footsteps of Brahms?s ?Hungarian Dances?, Dvorák refrained from a literal portrayal of individual kinds of dance. As a result, he created unique masterpieces of European music for domestic use and concert performance.'
