Echoes of Yesterday

The flowing, romantic style of this piece will appeal to junior high and high school students. Ease in learning is facilitated through the use of many patterns, both rhythmic and melodic. A variety of five-finger patterns are used and repeated in different octaves, all while holding down the damper pedal to allow time to move easily over the keyboard. The dynamics clearly mark the shape of the phrases, and careful attention to them will result in an interesting and musical performance.
