The Chase is On, Intermediate Solo

The Chase is On: Right away, we can sense the urgency! We’ve only just arrived and there’s already trouble! Are we on the hunt, or being chased? 

This piece is all about triplets & fast tempo! A great chance to work on technical finger practice & strength in the Right Hand ostinato. The melody makes an appearance in both Right and Left Hand. Pianists are asked to play Octaves in Left Hand; both blocked & broken.  Another skill to practice- playing staccatos in Left hand while keeping steady Right hand legato. Check out the cross hand figure at the end - This one is epic and exciting to play!
