Butterflies for Jillian by Susan Staples Bell
Have you ever lingered in the garden on a warm summer’s day, watching the butterflies as they flutter past? Butterflies for Jillian, will transport you there! Listen for the fluttering of the butterfly wings in the Left Hand figure that meanders through the piece. The right hand melody is reminiscent of innocent childhood days, long past. This piece is a lovely opportunity to explore melodic phrasing, left hand octave reaches, and ostinato patterns. It’s a petite jewel!
