3/40 Dragonflies
The English composer Marjorie Helyer wrote many suites for young pianists between the 1950’s and the 1980’s. This piece is taken from ‘The Greenwood Tree’ in which she followed the example of Schumann in composing short pieces that conjure up musical pictures for young people to learn and enjoy.
Although this piece is a Grade 1 ABRSM its a little tricky with the hands so close together! For this one I focused on phrasing and lifting between the phrases, no pedal with finger legato for the left hand and getting it up to tempo.
