PLAYING TIPS

MELODIC BALANCE

When playing the bars that feature the accompaniment chords on the second and fourth quaver beats (bars 2, 4, 6, and 8) be sure to project the melody note at the top of the chord slightly louder than the rest of it, so as to keep the melodic line intact. This is easily achieved if your focus is on playing

Dthe accompanying chords softly, as opposed to playing the melody note louder.

Each section is repeated but with a slightly different ending, as noted by a first and second time bar. The structure is AABBCCABCA* which shows how repetition and variation is used to create the composition.
