      Mysterious Shadows   ▪Solo Sheet 

       

      The mysterious sounds and feel of this piece in 4/4 meter are achieved through the use of a variety of minor five-finger patterns, including A minor, G minor and D minor, a non-legato pedal and chromatics. The use of non-legato pedal allows the hands to change octaves easily. Changes in tempo add to the overall mood and offer the opportunity for musical playing.
