NOTES FOR THE PERFORMER

This arrangement in a very moderate (almost a ballad) tempo has an impressionistic flavour. The harmonisation is both in homophonic sectional style (4 or 5 part chords in parallel motion) and in subtle counterpoint. The performance of this technically easy piece provides an opportunity for artful dynamic and rubato playing.
