About this piece

This is a contemporary minimalist-leaning piano piece composed by Sylvain D. Barbot. It is characterized by its repetitive, meditative melodic lines and a calm, approachable harmonic landscape.

What makes it challenging

At Henle 2 this is a beginner-level piece, where steady coordination between the hands is the main hurdle. The main demands: a true singing tone, with the melody floating above the accompaniment; careful pedaling — clarity depends on the foot as much as the fingers; and rubato that must breathe naturally without losing the pulse.
