Performance Guide:
This selection is very song like. The melodic movement is very beautiful and lilting characterized by a pleasant, gentle rising and falling but melancholy nature. This piece will be counted in 6. It is in b-flat minor. The first predictable accidentals are a-natural and g-natural which are the raised 7th and 6th notes in this key. The grace notes in measures 5, 11, 13, 15, and 39 should be placed before the beat. Map out the best F and Eb finger patterns for the most efficient movement. Notes with dots over them but under a slur such as m. 49 should be tongued. Notes with dashes over them such as m. 1 should be legato tongued. Notes with the housetop accents such as m. 4 have an intense lean. The trills in measures 57 and 58 need to be shaped. Lean on the front of the trill, start slowly and gradually increase the speed. Slow down on the grace notes at the end of the trill and let them lead into the next note. Do not take too many freedoms with the rhythmic pulse of the piece. Use very pressurized air throughout. Add singing vibrato to something in every measure. Pay attention to the marked articulation and dynamics. Count very carefully. Use this selection to make a beautiful and thoughtful musical statement.
