early intermediate

1. Waltz in C minor

Marie Jaëll

About this piece
Each melodic group in this theme fits within a specific hand position, helping you develop control while minimizing movement. This allows for efficient fingering and smoother phrasing, reinforcing stability in each position before shifting. In some sections, the composer moves rapidly between positions, requiring a flexible wrist and relaxed arm. Keeping the hand light and fluid ensures seamless transitions, preventing tension and maintaining evenness in tone.
