6. Where the Nodding Violet Grows in G major

Thomas Dunhill

What's this piece like?

The melody in this piece switches from right to left hand freely, making this a great exercise in coordination between the two hands. The main challenge is to bring the melodic line from one hand to the other without affecting the sound and rhythm in any way.

Who's this piece for?

A great piece for beginners who are polishing their technique.
