One moment…

Using only the right hand, the pianist performs a haunting, British folk-tune flavored piece, covering most of the keyboard without undue difficulty, using the sustain pedal to fill out the piano's sound so that the left hand's contribution is not missed. It is written in C Major, with eighth note running patterns, and some dotted eighth note rhythms, in 3/4 time, and in an easy andante tempo. A Federation Festivals 2024-2028 selection.

Don't just read it, hear it, play along with it, and watch your students grow with it. In MakeMusic Cloud, Between Two Lands (for right hand alone): Piano Sheet comes alive with professional accompaniment, adjustable tempo, and built-in practice tools that turn solo practice into real progress.

Why we love this

Sharon Aaronson writes for the hand that's actually playing, and this piece proves it. Rather than faking fullness with unnecessary left-hand filler, she uses the sustain pedal as a compositional tool, letting the right hand carry melody and texture across the full keyboard while trusting the pedal to supply the warmth. It's the kind of writing that feels liberated rather than limited.

What to expect

Haunting yet unhurried, this piece evokes the pastoral quality of British folk tradition while unfolding across the keyboard with an almost improvisational grace. The andante pace and 3/4 meter create a gently rocking motion, and the sustain pedal transforms what could be spare writing into something luminous and full.

Who it's for

Late-intermediate pianists ready to explore right-hand independence and pedal technique without the coordination demand of two-handed writing. Solo recital performers will find a piece that sounds fuller and more sophisticated than its technical requirements suggest. It's equally rewarding for students building musicianship through single-hand work or recovering from injury.

How to get the most out of it

Experiment with pedal timing before settling on a single approach; the sustain pedal isn't simply held down but lifted and reapplied strategically to prevent muddiness while maintaining resonance.
Shape the eighth-note running patterns by thinking of them as voice-like passages rather than mechanical runs; slight tempo flexibility in the andante will bring out the folk-tune character.
Let the dotted rhythms breathe; they're the piece's rhythmic anchor, so articulate them clearly even as surrounding figures move more fluidly.

How to use it

Program this as a character piece that showcases a different side of your student's artistry. It works well in a recital among larger works, offering an intimate moment that doesn't demand the velocity or drama of a sonata movement. The folk-flavored warmth also suits coffeehouse settings or informal concert environments where traditional recital expectations ease.
