Beautiful Princess

This piece should sound ‘sweet and pretty’ with a soft but singing legato. Make the right hand staccato quarter notes in the second half of bar 2, 4 and 6 ‘ring out’ by playing a staccato touch while depressing the pedal. The left hand dotted quarter notes for bars 8 and 10 should be soft and very quiet. The middle section uses only three notes but notice the different phrase lengths. The words will help to hear these phrases. Finally, for fun (!) do the princess wave (flat open hand rotating at the wrist) at the end to “acknowledge all your subjects sitting in the audience!”.
