About the piece
Humming Song, third in the Album for the Young. A simple melody sits over a continuously flowing accompaniment that must be kept quiet and even throughout.
The lesson is one of the most fundamental in piano playing: holding a steady background texture at a lower dynamic than the tune above it, so that the melody sings without being forced.
