Arethusa

Arethusa is a lilting piano piece in Ab major. The piece begins slowly, and moves into a more brisk tempo in measure 9. The time signature also switches from 4/4 to 3/4. The melody can easily stand out above the accompaniment without much effort, but maintain the lilting feel throughout the piece. There are few dynamic markings, so it’s up to you to find suitable dynamic shading that you find pleasing. An easy piece for intermediate pianists.
