A Maiden's Prayer / La prière d'une vierge

"A Maiden's Prayer" (original Polish title: "Modlitwa dziewicy" Op. 4, French: "La prière d'une vierge") is a composition of Polish composer Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska (1834–1861), which was published in 1856 in Warsaw, and then as a supplement to the Revue et gazette musicale de Paris in 1859. The piece is a medium difficulty short piano piece for intermediate pianists.

This piece is much simpler than it seems. The upward runs are all based on e-flat major and b-flat major arpeggios - they all fall under the hands quite easily. The left hand is pretty much the same throughout the entire piece. Don't be afraid to try it!

what i love about this piece is that there are two different octaves in which the lead melody is heard. it is somewhat like a man and a woman singing to each other and expressing their love with the romantic melody.

This song was used in a K-Drama Do do sol sol la la sol. Amazing piece.

I love this piece… it sounds like a lullaby.

This is played in Scene 9 of Brecht/Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny on a rinkytink piano at the bar at the Rich Man's Hotel. One of his fellow lumberjacks from Alaska remarks "This is eternal art, " as Jimmy Mahoney becomes increasingly restless at the peace and quiet.

[simhaghoma]

why do you play the end (the last 8 bars) much faster then the all before ?
a change of tempo is not indicated in the score as far as I see.

[matthewmitchell]

I really wanna know the lyrics, even though there aren't any. I wanna know the story behind it!
