About this piece
Voicing is certainly the main focus of this study. The top note of every chord on the right-hand needs to be highlighted for the melody to be heard. This is especially challenging here because the left-hand broken octaves make it difficult to maintain a melody that is not vertical and choppy. All in all, a great study for late beginner to early intermediate pianists.
Is this your next piece?
This might be a good next choice if you're a beginner polishing your technique.
