About this piece
This is a great short study in repeated notes: the challenge here is to play the repeated notes without losing the melodic line and avoiding verticality. Overall, a very good exercise in both finger and sound control.
Is this your next piece?
This could be a rewarding next step if you're a beginner polishing your technique.
