Grateful medium-heavy concert piece
The "Polish Dance" by Edmund Severn is a melodious performance piece with an Eastern European character.
The lively Mazurka by the American composer Edmund Severn (1862-1942) has been delighting middle school students in the USA for decades; now a European edition has also been published. The rondo combines chordal playing, left- and right-hand pizzicato, harmonics, dance-like sections and melodic lines without exceeding the third position
