Gavotte in G (Handel)

Before beginning to play, look for the patterns you practiced in the Touch exercise. The left hand is best played non-legato throughout.

Arietta (Reinhold)

Scan this piece before you play, following the melody as it moves from hand to hand. Look for shifts of hand position that might cause you to stumble.

Solfeggio in D (JCF Bach)

Before you play this piece as written, play it in block chords (two chords in measures 1-4, four chords in measure 5).
