Études faciles Op. 100 : Innocence

About this work

Innocence is a Moderato in F major and 3/4. A simple melody moves above an even broken accompaniment, with roles and positions changing as the phrases unfold. The transparent writing exposes unwanted thumb accents and an over-present bass; the main relief must remain in the upper line.

Repeats create a balanced miniature through dynamic growth, release and the return of opening material. The first beat supports the metre without becoming heavy. Short slurs require a supple renewal of sound, and cadences need room to breathe before the pulse resumes.

Play the accompaniment alone and keep every group at the same depth of touch. Add only the melodic notes and find the direction of each phrase. Combine both layers at a moderate tempo without pedal, then use brief pedal on stable harmonies. A recording will reveal whether the thumbs are protruding.
