A Holiday Excursion

In this piece the same figure is many times repeated, and always with the same fingers, a change being made for the dotted half note which ends the motive. Logic would seem to require a similar treatment of the left hand; playing the second G with

the second finger, the first again on the dotted half; but this is not necessary. When it begins to play easily, change the count to two (one beat to each measure) and work up to the second tempo. This is the desired rhythm.
