    These pieces are very enjoyable but a number of them are fairly difficult for the average player.Well worth listening to Bousfield and Alessi performing them to get an idea of the different interpretations one can use! If you can master all of these you are on the way to...

    becoming a virtuoso performer , if you can't just enjoy trying!
