How to play it

The numbers are your fingers: 1 is the thumb, 5 the little finger.

  1. Right hand

    Thumb (1) on E♭, then one finger on each key up to B♭ with your little finger (5): E♭ F G A♭ B♭. Play up and back down, one note a beat.

  2. Left hand

    An octave lower, little finger (5) on E♭ and thumb (1) on B♭. Play the same five notes up and back down: fingers 5 4 3 2 1.

  3. Both hands

    Both hands play the same notes an octave apart, but the fingers mirror each other: when the right hand plays 1, the left hand plays 5. Go slowly.
