Cassandra's Harp
is a lovely late intermediate solo that portrays a harp-like sound
effect through long, lyrical, melodic lines and eighth note movement
between the hands. The beginning measures contain interesting changes
in meter from 3/4 to 6/4 and throughout the A section in 4/4. In the
B section the melody is predominately in the LH with melodic doubling
in the RH accompaniment part. This piece will serve as a wonderful
recital selection or for reinforcement in lyrical playing. |

Written in 6/8
time, this piece begins in the key of E minor with a melancholy
lyrical section written mostly in thirds in the right hand. This
leads to an E major section in 4/4 time which contains triplets in
the right hand, the first note of each triplet being marked by a
tenuto to outline the melodic line. The mood of this section is
reminiscent of memories of falling leaves. The piece ends with a
return to the beginning material. This piece is truly musically and
expressively written. |

recital piece for the late intermediate student.

intermediate solo in the key of F-sharp minor exudes a somber and
haunting ambience. The L.H. contains accompaniment patterns
consisting of extended arpeggios and harmonic voicing, while the R.H.

This piece will appeal to the teenager as well as the adult student. |
