An introduction to 3/4 that includes gently swaying from side to side. The bar
immediately after the swaying is deliberately empty to allow students to get back
into a good playing position. The piece requires frequently moving between
intervals of a third: make sure – when students are placing or lifting more than one
finger at once – that the fingers move exactly together. No extra note should be
heard between the intended ones! Discuss the similarities and diff erences
between the three sections of the piece. .
