What makes it tricky
The right hand is easy; the left hand is the hard part, leaping from a low G to a chord nearly two octaves above in every bar. The melody has tied notes that you hold rather than play again.
How to practice it
- Pick Left hand at 50%. Look ahead to where the chord sits, then jump while the bass note is still ringing.
- Pick Right hand and play it as smoothly as you can. Count all three beats for each dotted half and tied note.
- Pick Both at 75%, then 100%. This piece sounds best soft and unhurried.
