Gabriel Fauré's Dolly Suite, Op. 56, is a set of pieces composed for piano duet. Written or revised between 1893 and 1896, these charming compositions celebrate various occasions in the life of Emma Bardac's daughter, to whom Fauré was deeply attached.

The suite ends with a Spanish dance, a lively and picturesque piece of scene-painting, in the style of España by Fauré's friend Emmanuel Chabrier.
