Meditation is one of several one-handed pieces by Diane Hidy. This left hand piece creative paints a beautiful picture of peace that we often feel during meditation. The piece is tossed back and forth between E major and minor, and encapsulates these beautiful emotions.
What Level is Meditation?
Meditation is a left hand only piece written in common time. The piece moves in and out of E major and minor, but there is no key signature. Instead, accidentals are written throughout. The smallest note value is an eighth note. Pedaling is indicated. The use of pedal and half notes allows time for students to “find their place” before beginning the next motif.
Helpful fingerings are written throughout the piece. Multiple octaves are played, which makes the piece sound much bigger and fuller than you might expect in a one-handed solo. Changes in dynamics create a wonderful opportunity for students to learn how to shift their dynamics while playing with one hand in order to create a cohesive melody and harmony.
Bonus

I gave Meditation to one of my adult students, and it really helped him focus on the dexterity of his LH fingers, fluidity of the arm and wrist, smooth pedaling, and generally playing the mood of the piece to great success.

I injured my right hand and for my Winter Recital I purchased Meditation to play myself. It was beautiful and I didn’t t feel like my playing was unappreciated. It certainly could be used to strengthen LH note recognition and LH dexterity.
