Snowflakes gently falling

Dianne Goolkasian Rahbee

What's this piece like?
This is a great piece to help you develop the basic hand position, where your fingers are curved and your hand has an arc-like shape. It brilliantly depicts the cold and still atmosphere of snowflakes gently falling not only through an even sound and rhythm but also through its lack of tonal center.
Who's this piece for?
Ideal for beginners who like original pieces with modern sounds and unique characters.
