Beginning of the composer’s lifetime.
About this piece
This piece is from a collection of 114 studies for all levels written by french composer Hélène de Montgeroult. These pieces stand out not just as effective exercises but also for their inspiring musical quality.
Over the Hills is a study in voicing and double notes on the right hand. The right hand also has both melodic and accompaniment notes, which can be challenging to control. The melody is tender and has some very expressive moments, that call for a wide palette of colors.
