Ferdinand Beyer (1,803–1,863)
Play the pupil part of Beyer’s Der Kuckuck, Op. 101 No. 11, while the app plays the teacher. Find the five notes in G, G–A–B–C–D, and count three quarter-note beats in each printed bar. Compare the same five-note pattern in C and G: in G it still needs only white keys. The sharps-and-flats card shows the black keys’ names; F sharp, the next note of the G scale, comes with the key of G at Level 1.
