Elvina Pearce, Faded Valentine
Elvina Pearce
“Faded Valentine” has a quaint, lilting sound, partly due to the 3/4 time signature. A gentle use of rubato can add to the tender mood. Students should aim to create long, flowing phrases. The given pedaling is quite detailed and corresponds with the phrasing. A few measures with hand crossings conclude this work.
