This very short piece is one of Carl Philipp Emanuel
Bach's best-known pieces; one of three 'solfeggios'

aspiring pianist, and is sometimes used in examination
syllabuses (including ABRSM). Solfeggietto means little

it requires well-trained and dextrous fingers.
This work is intended for piano and I incorporated what
I believe are accurate baroque articulations and
ornaments.
i found this a very fun piece to learn,it doesn't take long to pick up, you just need to have a bit of experience first.first time i tried it i failed and couldn't get past the 4th bar. i tried it a year later and it became so much easier to pick up.
