Piano Level 4

In piano level 4 both hands move where required.

The key of the piece is G minor. Both the notes B and E are played as flats. The aim of Level 4 is to play the melody in the right hand with a rich but playable left hand accompaniment.

Finger numbers have been added to each piece to make it clear which finger to use.
