About this piece
This short andante is a pedagogical piece that explores a dramatic, declaimed style typical of the late baroque/early classical periods. The accompaniment part is, at times, very melodic and it creates a beautiful counterpoint with the singing lines on the right hand.
Is this your next piece?
It might be a good next step if you're an intermediate pianist working on your technique.
