Everlasting

Carefully crafted in the key of F major with a change of key to A-flat major, the lyricism of the melody in this romantic solo is truly satisfying. Balance between the hands is essential to bring out the soaring right-hand melody over the expansive left hand. The piece begins simply but continues to grow in intensity until the texture of the melody is thickened with intervals of thirds followed by a dying down of both the music and the mood, making this a wonderful piece for developing musical playing.
