Song Without Words Op.10

Dora Pejačević

What's this piece like?
Poetry was a common source of inspiration for piano composers in the mid to late 1800s. The simplicity and beauty of this early piece by Pejačević showcases her talent for writing in this style. Voicing is the biggest challenge here, as the right hand handles both the melody and part of the accompaniment notes. The key is to let the melody flow smoothly without getting distracted by the accompaniment.
Who's this piece for?
An excellent piece for intermediate level pianists who are working on their technique.
