Or play as you wish.

Some explanation:

On this sheet I tried to put one version of 'Fr Alina', but there are others to nd on Youtube, like playing the high notes in the beginning in stead of the bass notes. I don't know how the composer wants it to be.

In this marvolous piece you can nd: - That each measure gets one note more until seven notes in measure 9, than each measure has one note less, except for the last measure. - That in the left hand each note is one of the b minor chord until measure 11 where the c# creates this marvolous moment, a kind of subtle pauze. Even if a listener doesn't know it theoretical, he would hear or feel this special moment too. - That the notes of the right hand, using the seven notes of the b minor scale, follow (more or less) the same up and down line of the left hand, and always stay above those left hand notes (even putted in the same octave, I mean).
