Frere Jacques Rocka, Op. 70, No. 1 Piano

Written for two pianos and four hands, this early advanced duet will prove invigorating for its performers and a delight for the audience to experience. Marked Allegro and composed in 4/4 time, this piece opens in C major, modulates to D flat, and then reverts back to C major. Students will encounter octave playing, sixteenth-note patterns, and parts that are equal in intricacy.
