March Wind, Op. 46, No. 10

This is a brilliant, etude-styled piece, using hand-over-hand technique in relentless sixteenth note patterns, alternating between the hands, in E-flat Major, 2/4 time. It is very romantically descriptive, musically of the rise and fall of the wind, and will require the playing of filled-in octave chords by both hands, quite a bit of chromaticism, and a tempo that suggests the piece be played "Swiftly and Lightly." A nice recital offering for the advanced student. A Federation Festivals 2024-2028 selection.
