Berceuse - Peter Nuttall

This is another LCM grade 4 piece that I started learning last week by Peter Nuttall. I know it's not perfect, there are a couple of timing mistakes amongst others but I felt like recording something. I think I should probably have played it a bit faster too, but I'll leave that for another time!


According to WIkipedia;

A berceuse is "a musical composition usually in 6/8 time that resembles a lullaby".[1] Otherwise it is typically in triple meter. Tonally most berceuses are simple, often merely alternating tonic and dominant harmonies; since the intended effect is to put a baby to sleep, wild chromaticism would be somewhat out of character. Another characteristic of the berceuse, for no reason other than convention, is a tendency to stay on the "flat side"; noted examples including the berceuses by Chopin, who pioneered the form,[2] Liszt, and Balakirev, which are all in D♭.

Hope you enjoy the video! :)
