Notes
-The suggested Left hand fingering may be weird at first but you will soon notice the finger position sets up for the next finger placement.
-Lots of thumb action and finger gymnastics. Suspension of bass/treble notes.
-Bar[12]-[16] In these 4 Bars, you will enounter a series of rapid bass notes (struck with thumb).
Make sure the treble notes are suspended and heard.
