Yes, it is the famous Rossini piece. I did not know the word "Grimalkin".
One of my favourite performances is this one:

More popular under the name of Chopsticks !
Los palillos chinos, the Chinese chopsticks, are used for the game of Mikado.
Thank you for pointing to this Sibley score.

So far as I known Posca's By the sea was a real hit in it's own time - but I've never seen an other piece by him.

The number of these salon pieces based on harp-like arpeggios and titled in reference to the sea or brooklets is incredible and would nearly justify a proper thread!
