Turk, 26 German Song
Daniel Gottlob Turk
This melodic piece has a gentle character and is full of sweet repose. Students will encounter a variety of rhythms, from thirty-second notes to detailed ornaments. The frequent rests in both hands are both crucial for keeping the mood cheerful. The tempo needs to move so that the phrasing can flow well and so that the overall form is not lost.
