Aubade Op.126

Cécile Chaminade

What's this piece like?

Cécile Chaminade's Aubade is a great piece from her "Album for the Young" which contains beginner to mid-intermediate piano pieces. 

An Aubade is a love song intended to be performed in the morning (as opposed to the more famous Serenade, which is for the evening). Balance and coordination between right and left hands are the main challenges in this piece.

Who's this piece for?

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