I teach my students this piece as three separate sections, perfecting each part before moving on to the next. Part 2 is the hardest and part 3 is the easiest, so we start at the end.
Part 3 starts halfway down page 2, with repeated stretch chords of Am, G, F, Em, and a simple melody that repeats over and over. But because of the changing chords, the melody notes build emotion, rather than seeming repetitious.
Part 1 is next; save the trill or turn in measure 7 for after the piece is well in hand. Part 2 is last. It is also the most thrilling part to play, but it can be very difficult to coordinate the hands. My students have had very good results using this fingering... I tell them a good goal is to be able to play this section hands separate with closed eyes, and then they will be very secure in their fingering. Enjoy this piece -- I'm sure your students will!
