1. Arabesque in F major

Josephine Lang

What's this piece like?
Written in the style of art songs (lieder), so popular during the 1800s, this Arabesque is a hidden gem from the romantic repertoire. It requires a good voicing technique to project the top melody and keep the accompaniment notes in the background.
Who's this piece for?
This is a great piece for intermediate level pianists with a solid foundation and strong technique.
