Comments on Piece

 Allegro non troppo (suggested tempo - quarter note =104-132) This piece features a left hand cross-over melody against a right hand broken chord accompaniment. The dramatic hand-crossings which occur in each measure make this an exciting piece to perform. A good sense of keyboard topography is developed in learning this piece.

Teaching Tips

 Listen for a singing tone and clear pedal changes with each change of harmony.
