A Group 6 Mid-Intermediate Selection. 5 pages PDF.
D Major (accidentals only)
Harmonic intervals for hand shape work in the left hand
Small repetitive phrases in the right for tapered phrase work
Forgiving pedal to allow the smaller phrases to flow easily
Exciting, moving B section with patterned left hand
ABA form
Tastefully programmatic
