Performance note

The rhythmic figure of spain between the left and the right hand looks complicated but together they sound logical and swinging. Perhaps you could study the first 16 bars to begin with. This will already be a complete section.. The more difficult parts follow in the remaining bars.

Foreword
It was during one of the CD recording sessions Nienke participated in, that Clemens got the idea to compose a few pieces for lever harp. That challenged Nienke to agree to take care of the arrangements. It did not stop with ideas only. You are looking at the result: a music study book for harp combined with a practice CD. The CD stimulates and accelerates studying.

The fifteen compositions provide variety and are easy to listen to. The required level of experience is 'average' (approximately 3-6 years of lessons). For this level of experience we decided to divide the compositions culinary into appetizers (light), main courses (heavy) and desserts (medium). No matter how you would like to select your menu, you won't gain any weight. The compositions are not only meant for lever harp but are also perfectly suited for a pedal harp. The colourful and creative illustrations complement the package.

We certainly hope that you will enjoy playing Ratatouille's compositions.

Levers and pedals
Lever changes are indicated by diamond shaped notes. When playing the appetizers and almost all desserts you only have to set the levers at the beginning of each piece. The main courses and desserts Little Birdie and Butterfly also contain lever changes during the piece.

The pedal changes are written in between the staffs. Spain and Blue Eyes contain enharmonic notes, which sound the same as the intended notes, but are played on a different string.
