March of the Moss Trolls from the Enchanted Forest: A Mystical Sonatina (a three-movement journey through a magical woodland, where music brings mythical creatures to life.)
Movement I: March of the Moss Trolls
Key: D minor
Mood: Bold, earthy, rhythmic
Teaching Objectives:
Steady march pulse with strong rhythmic shaping
LH fifths and solid octave jumps for hand coordination and strength
Clear articulation with accents and dynamic shaping
Minor-mode phrasing and modal color
Interpretation Tip:
Encourage students to imagine the troll marching through a mossy forest—grumbling, but not angry. Use detached LH articulation and grounded RH phrasing to convey the troll’s heavy but purposeful steps.
2 pages Music, 1 page Cover Art.
Perfect for Early Intermediate - Intermediate pianists; ideal for recitals, studio challenges, or imaginative solo study.
Free Performance tracks available for download: While it’s important to study the written score for performance guidance, music is ultimately an auditory art form. I encourage you and your students to listen to the performance recordings provided. They offer valuable insight into character, phrasing, tempo, and color. Listening is not a shortcut—it’s a meaningful part of the learning process.
