In order to play this piece, you must be able to play octave chords with
multiple notes and be able to fluidly switch hand positions.
Keep in mind that an F-flat is an E, an E double-flat is a D, and a B
double-flat is an A. The third beat of measure 22, then, is a third: A-C.
The right hand ostinato (repeating pattern) will get annoying if you play
the B-flats too loudly. Instead, voice the lower notes whenever the
pattern appears.
The left hand has the melody in the second two lines of the piece. Make
sure to voice the top of all of the chords. When the right hand enters
with the same melody, it also continues some of the opening ostinato
make sure that the theme is clearly heard.
Don't get too loud in measure 15. Remember that the loudest section is
still to come!
There are a lot of notes in measures 21-26. If you're not careful, it will
sound muddy and dull. Give the most attention to the top note of the
right hand and the bottom note of the left hand this will help make
your sound more clear.
If you are having problems with some of the jumps (such as the left hand
in measure 23), make sure you have a good fingering and then drill it
multiple times. Start at a very slow metronome speed and gradually
move up by 5 BPM until it gets too hard. If you do this day after day,
you should eventually be able to play it!
If this piece is too difficult, there exists an alternate version in C major. Most of the hard jumps have been removed. The end is also slightly different and should be easier to voice.
