Melodic and harmonic patterns and sequences abound in this intermediate solo by Catherine Rollin. The flowing quality of this piece will be especially appealing to teenagers. The key of D major is used throughout with some passages including C naturals, giving these measures a more expressive feel. This solo is the perfect vehicle for developing lyrical playing. Careful shaping of the melody, balance between the melody and accompaniment and a rubato tempo are all required to create the perfect mood and sound for this piece. |
