Key: C sharp major Meter: 8 Form: binary
Imagine Canada Day, the Fourth of July, or any festive holiday
celebration where children and adults enjoy sparklers. These
fireworks are bright and flashy and they burn quickly. The sound
goal of this piece is a legato but steady RH melody over a crisp and
clear staccato LH ostinato pattern with vibrant dynamic contrasts.
Ask your student to keep the tempo steady from start to finish.
Presentation
• Label the key and form. Ask your student to play the LH in m.
1. What is the LH chord? [C sharp major] Which notes of the
C sharp five-finger pattern are played in the cluster? [all but E
sharp]
• Explore the RH melody. Does it stay within the C sharp major
five-finger pattern? [yes]
• Shadow-play HS on the closed keyboard cover, focusing on
fingering and touch (legato vs. staccato)
Practice Assignment
• Encourage your student to warm up with the C sharp major
five-finger pattern.
• Practice HT in four-measure units, first slowly and then
gradually faster as you become more secure.
• Find the four-measure question (mm. 1–4) and the answer (mm.
5–8).
The mid-point of this prelude cadences in the relative key of G major. [m. 11] How did Bach reach
G major? The F natural in m. 7 begins the process by setting up the dominant 7th [G7] of C. [C
major is IV in G], which begins the traditional cadence of IV–V7–I in G at mm. 10–11.
Explore how the musical material in the second half of the prelude. [mm. 11–22] relates to m. 1:
• Melodic fragments are often preceded by a rest.
• Arpeggio fragments or related zigzag shapes are still used.
• The opening RH melody appears in the bass [m. 20] to end the piece.
Note Bach’s use of the Picardy 3rd (G sharp) in the final measure.

“The most exciting Celebration Series® yet!
The Celebration Series Perspectives® repertoire is exciting and fun, particularly
the music of the more contemporary composers and idioms, and is sure to keep
students motivated and engaged. I am especially impressed with the inclusion of high
quality pieces in traditional genres that are largely unknown. This series will breathe
fresh life into our profession as music educators and will keep students fascinated
while enriching their knowledge of music.”
