Description

“To A Mouse” contains a pre-set lever, which remains for the whole piece. It is a gentle waltz in E minor.

“Tiny Toes Tango” is in G major and has a strict tango bass line with an easy melody line, decorated with a few ornaments and embellishments.

“Squeak’s Waltz” is a graceful waltz in the key of A minor, with all the characteristics expected of a waltz.

“A Nice Time for Mice” has a bit of a march feel about it… just imagine, you’ve evaded the cat and you’re off to get the cheese… It is in the key of D major.

“An Ode to Cheese” is a wistful air, filled with the reverence of a naughty mouse hankering for your cheese. It is mostly in the key of C major, with a little foray into A minor. It has the occasional right-hand harmonic at the end of phrases.

“Lil Whiskers” is a cheeky jig in F major, as danced by the wee mice on the cover of this book. It has a couple of little broken-chord passages which move between root position and inversions.
