Lynn Freeman Olson, Remembered Song
This beautiful, gentle piece features a left hand melody, two-note slur accompaniment in the right hand and (for the first time in this set) a few accidentals (B-flat, B-natural). This piece provides a wonderful opportunity for the student to expore the left hand melody, as this technique is not very common.
