early intermediate

Barcarolle Op.4

Dora Pejačević

What's this piece like?
Barcarolles were typically dark and sad pieces that evoked the gentle rocking motion of Venetian Gondolas. Maintaining a very steady rhythm and tone in the left hand is the main challenge in this piece, which can be a great introduction to this genre.
Who's this piece for?
An excellent piece for intermediate level pianists who are working on their technique.
