Buster's Bounce

An energetic solo for the early intermediate pianist. Inspired by Buster Keaton, the great silent film comedian, the intent was to instill a dramatic flair to the music, with each section reflecting a different mood. Try to imagine yourself accompanying a silent film - what actions might be happening on the movie screen as you play? Be sure to emphasize the left-hand melody in the first and final sections while keeping the right-hand chords light. Key: C minor.
