Petite Valse #2 by Danaë Xanthe Vlasse;

For Late Beginner, or Early-Intermediate Pianist.  Approximately 2 minutes long.

Program Notes:
This waltz was written in honor of the birth of a baby girl. The tenderness of this piece suggests the sweetness of a parent cradling a newborn baby to sleep.

Early level students will be challenged by the movement of the Left Hand shifting between Bass and Treble clefs, along with some practice reading ledger lines, but the rhythms are easy to read and the work is full of patterns (including basic broken chords) which should seem familiar and accessible. Students' attention should be on balancing voicing and shaping the simple phrases, while maintaining a lightness and buoyancy in their motions in order to better convey the motion of a dance; it is never too early to prepare for the lovely waltzes of the great Romantic composers!
