Autumn rain Op.32 No.5

Alexander Goedicke

What's this piece like?
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.

A great piece for beginners who are polishing their technique.
