Dragonflies in C major

Florence Price

About this piece
This is a playful piece that represents the fast and unpredictable movements of dragonflies. The fact that both hands rarely play together does not mean this is an easy piece since it requires good dexterity and reflex to jump up and down the keyboard.
Is this your next piece?
This could be a good match if you like original and creative styles.
