Piano Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.966508 Composed by Stuart Sosnoski. Instructional,Standards. Score. 4 pages. Stuart Sosnoski #2881247. Published by Stuart Sosnoski (A0.966508). Speed Limit 90 is a piece I wrote for a student of mine who loves car racing. He, and other students of mine, love the piece very much. The piece is challenging but when played up to speed and smoothly, the excitement of its performance is obvious. One particular technique my students enjoy is the Ceasuras. Their imagination is enhanced when they picture a cow in the road, or a stop sign, and have to slam on the brakes! The rhythms of the melody and accompaniment are somewhat advanced, but are repetitious throughout, so students reinforce them greatly. Use of accents on certain beats in the melody and accompaniment reinforces this technique as well. Speed Limit 90’s tempo indicator is half note is at 90 on the metronome. Having the half note receive a beat is advanced for this level however, the piece can easily be played in 4/4 time until the student is comfortable with the cut-time feel. Your students will be challenged by Speed Limit 90 but they will also love showing it off at recitals!
