Alberto Nepomuceno

About this piece
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. Dance is a lively piece that will help your left hand make quick moves up and down the keys without losing control of the sound.
Is this your next piece?
It might be a good next step if you're an intermediate pianist working on your technique.
