Introduction - Valse Sentimental - Bagatelle

An elegant waltz evoking the ambience of lovers in Paris. This could be used as a recital piece in which the student should let the music breathe and linger without pushing.

A delightful dance in D minor. Remains in five-finger pattern, and is suitable for even the youngest beginner.

Great fun with lots of bouncy action! The right hand and left hand alternate using short phrases with staccato release. The easy 5-finger position in C major uses big notes in a simple A-A-B-A form.
