Warrior's Song Op.45 No.15

Stephen Heller

What's this piece like?
This is an incredible study on how to get a powerful sound with a good tone. The relentless sequence of chords played at full sound requires good control of arm weight, which is the main technique being explored here. You will also need to relax your hand immediately after playing each and every chord to avoid injuries caused by accumulated tension in your fingers and arms.
Who's this piece for?
This piece will impress your audience and give you the motivation you need to move on to even harder repertoire.
1-2 pages
Romantic
D minor

MOOD: Flashy, passionate, bombastic and triumphant.
