Playing tips:
This lyrical, barcarolle-like Cradle Song should rock calmly along at an Andante pace. Even if the LH acts as the boat’s (and the music’s) anchor, you should still try to shape it and give it a line of its own (follow the phrase markings). The RH will need good voicing: the upper note should ring out at all times. At bar 17, a short development ensues. Keep it sweet and soft. After the ritardando at bar 27, the opening melody returns at bar 30. From the beginning of the last line of music, make the music die away peacefully towards the end.
Pedalling tips can be found on the score itself.
