When drops of rain fall on a body of water, expanding ripples of waves are formed. In the same way, sound waves create vibrations in the air as the performer plays each note. Minor triads divided between the hands in triplet rhythm continue to expand in range towards the climax. As ripples of water hit boundaries and reflect back, so do the triads contract in range, bringing the listener full circle as the final bars are reached.

Reflections is a fast paced elementary etude featuring mirrored fingering in a G five finger position. Sudden changes in direction and shifts between steps and intervallic leaps contribute to the challenges of this etude. For the adventurous, variations can be applied by altering to a minor hand position. Additionally, both major and minor hand positions could be transposed into the other eleven five finger positions.

Give-and-Take (NMP 0073) $4.00

NMP 0073

Young performers play a conversation between the hands sharing themes of the two cyclic sections. The shifting melody alludes to the give-and-take of how friends spend time together. Like close friends that can finish each others sentences, the melody of the A section becomes further fragmented as it quickly passes between the hands.
