Easy Piano - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1394898 By Sibylle Kuder. By Sibylle Kuder. Arranged by Sibylle Kuder. Children,Classical,Contest,Festival,Instructional,Traditional. Score. 7 pages. Sibylle Kuder #978381. Published by Sibylle Kuder (A0.1394898). Early level piano solo, with optional mp3 accompaniment and piano duet. While it is not an actual - known - song, it has the elements of a children’s song:  - simple rhythms - half notes, and quarter notes and rests make the counting easy;  - a melody that moves in steps and skips;  - predictable four-measure phrases. Steps and skips make the reading easy, with fingering provided at the beginning of each line, and any time a hand moves. Most hand movement is either step-wise, or from contracting the hand - moving 3 next to 1. The two main challenges here are the unexpected harmony in m. 5 and similar places (the only sharp in the entire song), and the need to pay particular attention to the articulation - legato, staccato, two-note slurs, to keep it from sounding mechanical.
