Octávio Pinto was born
Beginning of the composer’s lifetime.
About this piece
Pinto's Childhood Scenes follow the footsteps of Schumann's famous Opus 68 Scenes from Childhood, which is a set of short character pieces inspired by the composer's fond memories of his childhood.
The first one in the set, Run Run!, has a playful character with fast alternating hands in the main section. The left hand should be lightly accentuated, which will help keep the arms and wrists relaxed throughout this section.
Is this your next piece?
This could suit you if you're an intermediate pianist with a solid foundation who wants to explore modern sounds and original styles.
