Beginning of the composer’s lifetime.
About this piece
Türk's piano collections for elementary and beginner levels are an excellent example of traditional piano pedagogy. Each piece featured in the collection was written as student work, and they're ordered to progress in difficulty.
This piece has a serious and sad character and it's a good exercise for learning to control the balance between the two different voices.
Is this your next piece?
This could be a good next step if you're just starting out and developing your technique.
