"Bopping
along merrily" is the tempo marking for
this ensemble selection, telling us that it's
time for some fun. The bubbly, fluttering Primo
(The Butterfly) and the repetitive, lumbering
Secondo (The Bear) wonderfully sketch the imagery.
Listen for the echoes as Bear and Butterfly
play together. This one will have much appeal
with sibling teams. |

Follow
the gently flowing tempo and arpeggiated theme
of this piece as you enjoy Chasing Sunbeams.
Lots of smooth pedaling and attention to dynamics
will make this equal-part duet shine. Some cross-hand
work in the Primo added to help perform final
notes in the upper registers. |
