PRICE | Clouds: mm. 62–64

 

“These redistributions help me project the melody in this complex passage. Taking the tenor B-flat on the downbeat of m. 63 with the right-hand thumb eliminates the need to roll that chord. I play the left-hand grace notes with the right-hand A-flat on beat two to facilitate a clean pedal change for the A-flat major harmony.”
