Description
Hope you like this short...(more) piece composed in a snowy, yet bright, morning in spring 2010.

Technically, this is an experimental study of the "circle of 5th", or 4th, depending on perspective. Starting on C major, the key changes every measure, making the 4th note of the previous scale the tonic of the next scale, until it circles back to C major. It must be pointed out, although it starts and finishes on the C chord, this is NOT a piece in C major.

Special note about the benefits of playing this piece. It is also intended to be a "study piece" to help students strengthen the grasp of the 12 major triad chords. The first left-hand note of each measure is the name of the chord. Best say them while playing. On the right hand, the student has a chance to practice the most commonly used major triads in one of the inverted positions (with tonic in the middle).
