Twelve Etudes for Children (No.3 Ringing Bells in the Rain)

This Etude places a strong emphasis on coordinating the right and left hands throughout the piece. The main melodies reside in the middle line, specifically on the left hand's thumb. Imagine the left hand's basses as the deep, resonant big low-voice bell, while the right hand's top notes represent the small, high-pitched bell. The character of this piece should convey a sense of resonance and duskiness. The player can sustain the pedal for several bars, changing it gradually as the harmony shifts.
