Notes on Technicality
- Right Hand: Fast scales and arpeggios are common in the right hand throughout these pieces. Playing with a light touch is a great way to attain both speed and accuracy in the hardest sections. Eighth and sixteenth grace notes are used, as well as tremolos, trills, and glissandos.
- Left Hand: Some tenths are rolled, but they are never used without rolling to aid in playability. Includes large and quick jumps between low octaves and chords near middle C. Some measures are written in treble clef. Grace notes are used in the left hand. Swing rhythm is used in Sing We Now of Christmas Medley.
- Miscellaneous: Speed and agility are a big focus in the book, with many arpeggios and large jumps used throughout the arrangements. Some suggested fingering is included. Rolls and 8va are used in both hands and some rolls connect the two hands. Syncopation provides a unique flair to old hymns and a fun challenge for the advanced pianist.
