Oversize music, poor print.

The movements are: Dialogo; Scherzo-pizzicato; Elegia; Marcia; Moto Perpetuo.
Requires an experienced pianist.
Left hand pizzicato encourages a loose thumb and swinging elbow.
Watch out for the misprint in the viola part key signature!
Other pieces in the album Piece by Piece book 1 are recommended
Polish Dance is in the style of a Mazurka requiring some more advanced techniques such as with triple stopping, left hand pizzicato and natural harmonics. There is a section high on the G-string which will benefit from a good sostenuto sound. Great fun to play!
