TEACHING NOTES
This piece should be imagined as a vocal duet, where the singers need to breathe between phrases. Sometimes these phrases overlap so the "breath" for each hand will be in different places such as in bars 17-24 ( 0:36)

The LH contains many rests which should be observed. Typical places where students might forget to release the LH are bars 10, 
 12, 24 ( 0:22 0:28 and 0:50 )

Notice too the tenuto articulation in bars bars 9 and 11, slightly separate the notes here ( 0:20 )
