Old French Song (Op. 39 No. 16) piano sheet music

Tchaikovsky wrote the Album for the Young in 1878 for his nephew, and the Old French Song is one of its best known pages: a sad, simple G minor melody over a quiet accompaniment. The original score fits on one page. It is an ideal first lesson in playing a melody legato over a softer left hand.
