early intermediate

2. Melody in G minor

Alberto Nepomuceno

What's this piece like?
This album is a collection of indispensable exercises at the intermediate level for the left-hand. These pieces help your left-hand improve not only technical skills, such as dexterity and coordination but also musical ones, such as phrasing and shaping long musical lines. The second piece in this album, Melody, explores similar challenges as the first one (Barcarole), but this time the melody is composed of a single line and the accompaniment has broken chords, which requires even more control and coordination from the left-hand.
Who's this piece for?
An excellent piece for intermediate level pianists who are working on their technique.
