Composer Tips

Keep the left hand steady and be careful not to over emphasise the first quaver in each bar.

You can be very expressive with the right hand melody allowing your emotions to lead the way.

Play each chord tone with equal weight to get the maximum sonority from the harmony.

Sunday Solace is suitable for home performance, practice pieces, ABRSM grade support pieces, professional performance, school and student learning.
