My Performance

Things I Found Difficult

Although there aren’t many notes to learn, I did not find it easy to play the RH accompaniment quietly and evenly.

Structure

A – B – A – Coda

Sections

Section Bars Comments
A 1-8
B 9-12 Bar 12 — This is the transition from the B section back to A. The right hand departs from the repetitive pattern established in mm 1-11.
Coda 13-15 Again, the right hand departs from the pattern. Note that the melody moves from the left to right hand at beat 3 of mm 14. Bring out the top note in the right hand at this point.
