Theme And Variations On Skip To My Lou
Composed by Robert D. Vandall
arr. by Robert D. Vandall: A unique concept of flexibility in multi-piano literature -- one person on a part for first year students, OR a combination of parts as an exercise in score reading for more advanced students, OR a mixture of part assignments for classes of diverse ability levels. Each part maintains its own melodic contour, phrasing, and rhythmic independence.
