late intermediate

1. Run Run! in C major

Octávio Pinto

What's this piece like?
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.
Who's this piece for?
Ideal for intermediate pianists with a solid foundation that want to explore modern sounds and original styles.
3-4 pages

MOOD: Agitated, flashy, crazy and percussive.
