Style: 12/8 Shuffle Duration: 2:30 Approximate AMEB standard: Grade 6 Range: High Bb (with alternative notes provided)
This is an energetic 12/8 shuffle that relies on a spirited feel and great attention to articulation. There is a short slower passage in the middle, providing contrast with space to rest the chops following some exciting unison work with the piano. This should be a really fun performance piece that allows for demonstration of technique and musicality without it becoming too heavy an exercise in stamina.
