Brief Study Notes

This is delightful piece. Although a duet, you can, of course, duplicate instruments on each part.

Like the Hungarian Round, the most appealing feature of this piece is that the second part is merely the tune displaced one bar to the right. Neither part is therefore "harder" or "more important", and so it's an ideal ice-breaker for a new Ensemble group. It's not a complete "round", as no further replications can be added. But the way in which the music extracts beautiful chord sequences from just two notes is nothing less than magical. And so is the way that although every sequence appears first in the top part and then in the bottom, the changing harmonies which accompany that sequence mean there is no hint of repetition or staleness.

You'll enjoy this! With a cassette recorder, you can even try this one out at home.
