This piece has an interesting journey behind it.
It was originally chosen by the student’s previous teacher, and when the student brought it to me, she mentioned that it was meant to be a duet. However, after taking a closer look at the photocopied score, I realized something wasn’t quite right. The so-called “second part” wasn’t actually a duet part at all—it lacked the structure and musical independence a true duet requires.
Rather than abandoning the idea, I decided to rework it properly. I began by searching for the underlying chord progression and then wrote a genuine second part that would complement the original melody and create a balanced musical conversation between the two players.
With the new duet part in place, the piece finally became what it was meant to be. After rehearsing and refining it together, we were able to perform it successfully at SOTA Concert Hall for "Summer Recital" hosted by Melodious Piano Studio in early November.
Seeing the piece come together on stage was incredibly rewarding. What started as an incomplete score turned into a fully realized duet—and a meaningful performance moment for the student.
