Solfeggietto in C minor

A short solo keyboard piece in C minor composed in 1766 by CPE Bach

• CPE Bach was a German Classical Period musician.
• the second son of J S Bach from baroque period.

Diffculties Learning:
• The character of this piece dictates an equal balance between the hands in the
arpeggios sections.
• Keeping all the notes equal rhythm
• Swapping between the hands

Keys / Ornaments:
• There is only one ornament marked into the score, at Bar 25. This is best played
beginning on the upper note of Eb and ending with a turn, as demonstrated.
• The main theme, with its characteristic arpeggios and scales has a C minor opening;
there is a modulation to G minor, ready for Bar 9; the main theme is restated in F
minor at Bar 17; we return to C minor for the ending.

Waltz in Ab Op 39 No 15

Brahms
• German composer of the Romantic Period
This waltz is probably one of the best known of Brahms' piano pieces and is almost
certainly the most popular of the Opus 39 collection, originally written for piano duet but
later arranged by the composer for solo piano.

Diffculties Learning:
It might be a good idea to begin with the LH part, since the harmonies form the basis of
the music and much of the learning will be centred around achieving fuent, accurate LH
chords.
