The Piano Lesson

Leaping across the leger in groups of four Triadic eighth notes danced while half notes slow, Take their time beneath, just resting in the score Seldom interrupting the lyrical flow. Comes an occasional ornamental turn In Chopin’s inimitable style, a test, For all intermediate students to learn Next, because of this prickly teacher’s request.
