Form: Prelude. 20th Century. SMP Level 9 (Advanced). Single piece. Standard notation, fingerings and introductory text (does not include words to the songs). 12 pages. Published by Alfred Music Publishing (AP.6393).
ISBN 0739020412. With standard notation, fingerings and introductory text (does not include words to the songs). 20th Century. 9x12 inches.
