“Second Thoughts” is an exercise in three parts:
Understanding that seconds aren’t necessarily dissonant, and should be played confidently, and with care toward intonation, to achieve the desired effect.
There are two main themes. Oftentimes, the first theme is accompanied by the second theme, or snippets thereof. It would be an interesting exercise for the instructor to challenge the students to discover how these themes are put together.
“Second Thoughts” is mainly a lyrical and reflective piece, as if the author (not this author) is looking back and perhaps having second thoughts about something from their past. Therefore, many of the dynamics are of the softer nature. Playing softly is one of the most often neglected aspects of performance practice (from my observation), and so I would encourage strong emphasis on reading the dynamics.
