Album for the Young Op. 140

Cornelius Gurlitt

A type of accompaniment pattern that uses a persistent 8th note rhythm with a low-high-middle-high note configuration.

Notes whose lengths are equal to one-eighth the value of a whole note or half the value of a quarter note.

Sharps, flats and naturals that do not appear in a key signature.

A type of texture where the contour of the notes in one hand is the exact opposite to that of the other hand as they play simultaneously.

Chords comprised of the root, major 3rd, perfect 5th, and minor 7th. Sometimes they are found in close position with only three notes.

A type of articulation indicating the player to play smoothly and seamlessly, with the notes slightly overlapped.

Two notes played in succession, usually in one hand but sometimes in both, whose distance is the interval of a 2nd of any quality.

An indication instructing the player to play softly.

The same note that occurs several times in a row throughout a piece.

Temporary displacement of established meter by the stressing of a weak beat.

Two notes connected together smoothly where the second note is played softer and lighter.
