Description

This solo, aptly titled, serves as an excellent exploration of chromaticism while also providing an enjoyable jazz experience. Set in C minor, it opens with a persistent ostinato bass line that recurs throughout the composition. The right hand carries the melody, incorporating both triplet figures and chromatic notes. The repetition of melodic and rhythmic patterns in the right hand, combined with the steady left-hand ostinato, facilitates learning and memorization of the piece. Both teenage and adult students will find this solo engaging to perform in various settings. The piece spans four pages.
