Three-Note Arpeggio Etude

“Three-Note Arpeggio Etude” is an original piece by Anne Sullivan for solo lever or pedal harp. “This music is designed to be a study in fingering flexibility, meaning the flexibility to use different finger combinations in sequence and to switch smoothly between them,” says Sullivan. “The fingering printed in this etude reflects the changing finger patterns that will create that adaptability, switching between third and fourth finger. Sometimes the fingering will seem awkward, but that is the point—learning to play these unusual combinations and shapes will help build your fingers’ repertoire of responses.” This piece is the first in Harp Column’s “Tear-Out Tunes” series, and the music is available for free by subscribing to Harp Column magazine.
