A quick piece, playing notes ‘up and down and all around’ the keyboard. Play all notes legato, making sure they sound clearly without holding them longer than the note value. It is important to make switching between the right hand and left hand notes sound seamless without the use of pedal. Maintain one tempo for the whole piece while making good use of the fermata to mark the turning point of the piece. A slight slowdown at the end helps to emphasize the ‘realization of our astronaut’s dream!
