  • Jim, What is that ornament at the end of Bessie Weatherston first line. I have never seen it before . What can I substitute that for. A slap might do. Maybe I just do not know the ornament but it is really hard to execute.

    • Hi Dan:
      I’ve never seen that particular movement before, and to be honest, I don’t like it much, but that is the way the composer plays it in the recording. Just a light touch on low G followed by a D gracenote to B. Yes, very unusual.
