Composed for Pedal Harps, Sweet Blues is a piece of 4 minutes by Bernard Andres. This melodious yet quite nostalgic work uses natural harmonies, pinched sounds, arpeggios and numerous pedal changes. Quite difficult, it would bebetter for advanced players. Three parts can be differentiated: Lento, Piu lento and Piu lento. The first part starts with a tune in natural harmonies only by the right hand, followed by the same tune in pinched notes. The piececontinues with soft ordinary sounds. Pinched sounds and natural harmonies re-appear in the last part, before the quiet finale. Bernard Andres (born in 1941) is a world-known French Harpist and composer. Recognised for his workon both lever and pedal Harps and for chamber music pieces, some of his most famous pieces are 'Elegy to a dead Shepherd' and 'Anamorphoses'.
