8. Erotikon

This piece Erotikon by Emil Sjogren contains a horde of arpeggios and in D-flat Major. These wide arpeggios (10ths mostly) seem to be good preparation for Benjamin Godard's song Chopin, which follows and is also in D-flat. This song (Erotikon) sounds kinda pretty-ish. I need to get a better version to see if I can come to fall in love with it after the fact--the way I have with Massenet's Melodie (from the Third Grade Book). I'm kinda waiting for my sight-reading to really get good--which I know it will in the next three months!--so I can start attacking this and other pieces with more alacrity... and confidence.
