Description: III—PIERLALA.

LESSON: The free imitation by the right hand (m. 2 and m. 4) of the left hand (m. 1 and m. 3) is worthy of remark. Having observed this, the student will notice other instances of the same procedure, as for instance the left hand of measures 11 and 13 imitating the right hand of measures 10 and 12, respectively. The rhythm must be swinging with something of the character of a jig.
In m. 2, where the right and left hands move in contrary motion, there is a crescendo leading to a strong accent on the highest note (D) in the right hand; this phrase is repeated with identical notes and signs in measures 6-7.
It must not be forgotten that Pierlala was a soldier, which may account for the vigorous rhythmic character of this Adaptation. Yet there is a strong human side expressed both in the melody and in the harmony; therefore, the student must attempt to play Pierlala with expression as well as humor.
