Waltz Op.36 No.3

Amy Beach

What's this piece like?

This piece is from Beach’s Opus 36, a wonderful set with short pieces that range from late beginner to early intermediate levels. It is a waltz, characterized by the 3/4 rhythm. 

This is a great piece for late beginner to early intermediate pianists, where the lyric quality of Beach's music is paired with a clean and pianistic writing. The right hand gives you lots of colors to play with, which is the main challenge in this piece.

Who's this piece for?

An excellent piece for intermediate level pianists who are working on their technique.
