Let's Dance!

Maria Szymanowska

Passages with constant step-wise motion and mainly 16th note rhythmic values.

Embellishments added to melodies that serve to decorate, increase interest, and allow performers to add their own unique expressiveness.

8th notes whose lengths are increased by half; equal to three 16th notes.

A type of texture where one or both hands play more than one voice at a time with large intervals, many hand positions, and complex rhythms.

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

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

A type of accompaniment pattern that uses a persistent 8th note rhythm with broken chords, in varying note configurations.

Also called the damper pedal, it is the rightmost pedal on the piano and used to sustain notes by moving the dampers away from the strings.
