Given the technical difficulties noticed previously, it’s crucial for performers to implement the following strategies:

1. Isolate Difficult Sections: Specifically focus on measures 4 to 6:

• Right Hand: Break down the transition of notes into smaller segments, playing each pair (B5 to G#5, etc.) multiple times to build muscle memory.

3. Dynamic Control Exercises:

• In measures 10 to 12, use varied dynamics within the left hand (e.g., play softly on the first run, then crescendo on subsequent runs) to develop control and expression.

4. Use of Scales and Arpeggios: Familiarizing oneself with scales surrounding the chords used in the piece can greatly aid in fluency. Particularly, pentatonic scales in C major will complement the melodic structure.

The piece "Golden Hour," composed in the key of C major and written in a 4/4 time signature, presents a beautiful melodic and harmonic interplay that is both engaging and accessible to performers.

Unique Features:

• Melodic Structure: The right hand predominantly carries the main melody, showcasing a memorable progression of notes including F#5, G#5, and B5, which create a bright and uplifting atmosphere.

• Chord Progressions: The left hand provides harmonic support using a mix of triads such as A4, C#5, and E5. These elements often resolve beautifully to reinforce the tonic (I) and create a rich sound texture. For instance, measures 1 through 3 display a clear use of chords I (C major) and V (G major) that embellish the melody convincingly.

• Motivic Development: The rhythmic patterns throughout the score feature consistent repetition, especially noticeable from measures 5 to 9. This gives a thematic cohesiveness that enhances the listening experience.

• Textural Layers: The combination of both hands creates a dual-layer texture. The right hand often ascends while the left hand moves harmonically downwards (e.g., in measures 8 and 9), adding depth to the overall sound.
