The Moon, The Pearl
The Moon, The Pearl, for the lack of a better word, sounds very... romantic. The slow, hypnotic almost, groove of the left hand, with the aid of the right hand, of course, sends some very loving messages to the listener. Working out the rhythm of the pattern will help enormously when you try to add the melody, and so will knowing that the starting "cadenza" is based on the c pentatonic, while the finishing one is based on the F minor pentatonic.
