What its lesson teaches
Study a Swedish folk dance in B flat from Olof Åhlström’s keyboard collection of 1814 (Traditioner af Swenska Folk-Dansar, part 2 No. 31). Play its two-note slurs as a lean and a lighter release, and its staccato notes, mostly eighths, short and light, as on a Classical keyboard; make the same choice each time a figure returns. At the keyboard: play I–IV–V7–I with clear articulation.
Technique B-flat major scale, hands together, 2 octaves
