Solo: Mountain Climb

Play A Picture: Solos and Duets
intend to inspire expression by
descriptive titles and vivid photographs.

Mountain Climb introduces techniques
for producing images in music:
repetition of patterns with
change in dynamics and
chromatic key-changes 
to give the impression
of climbing up or down.

These techniques can be
used by the performer
to help the listener "see"
someone climbing a mountain,
and "feel" the tension as they climb.

Extensive use of sharps are
written directly into the music,
helping the performer
relate repeating patterns
in different key signatures.

Included with the Solo piece
is Technique & Expression preparation
for mastering
notes and techniques
used in the Solo.

Notes about Play A Picture: Solos and Duets

Play A Picture: Solos and Duets
intend to inspire expression by
descriptive titles and vivid photographs.

Play A Picture: Solos and Duets include
only a few fingerings and expression markings:
performers are typically encouraged to explore
fingerings suitable to them
and expression they feel
brings the song to life.

A variety of key signatures,
often imbedded within the music itself
for ease of reading,
strengthens visual confidence
of sharps, flats and naturals.
