      Cursed is right.
      I just got to it and trying to play it drove me to hate the damned thing. I never want to hear this song again as long as I live.
      BTW: My instructor told it's quite difficult because of perpetual motion of the left hand.

    The "trick" to reading this piece is that it's in D minor, so B is played as a Bb (black key). There are also C# notes that are played on the sharp (black) key. The rest is all on the white keys. The high stuff at the end is the same notes an octave higher. Scarborough Fair is also in D minor, but there are two B# notes, which you would play on the white keys because they're marked sharp.

    That was awesome! Hey, I've noticed a huge difference in a few songs. This one and Scarborough Fair and Blow the Man Down. It is a different kind of concentration to do the notes with the left hand. I need more songs like that... Does the Alfred's Book 2 work deeper into this left hand note playing? Or else can you recommend any books that practice it?

    I didn’t have much difficulty with this piece, only the doted measure, that part took me
    45 min. Maybe what helped is that I use Blown the Man Down as a warming exercise every single time, and it helps to maintain hand independence and that particular dotted counting right on track.
