Helpful tips from the composer:

1. Before you start learning this piece, listen to my recording to get a feel for it. (Note: A few notes in the
recording are different than this sheet music, due to artistic license. I suggest you always follow the sheet
music, but feel free to be adventuresome if you wish).
2. Through the whole piece, focus on the melody! This song has a lot of action going on, both during the
loud and soft parts, so it is critical that you bring out the melody.
3. Use the dynamics and tempo markings in the music, along with what you hear in the recording, and
your own musical intuition, to contrast the loud and soft parts of the piece. Additional nuances in the
tempo and dynamics are encouraged.
4. Enjoy the adventure! This is a very intense song. Be sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and stay
hydrated while practicing it.
