Music of the Month for February 2010

New music for you to play!

  • “Italian Lullaby” in Level Two. This is a lullaby I learned from my mother, who grew up in Torino, Italy. I also included this song in Mama Lisa’s wonderful site of international children’s songs. The page Mama Lisa devoted to this song has me singing, and even a related video.
  • “Etude in D Minor” by Gurlitt in Keyboard Classics. Learn to play this piece–in a serious minor key, and with a stirring melody in the left hand. Cornelius Gurlitt’s picture is below:
