Musical Connection

An intermezzo is generally placed between two things, like acts of a play, or parts of an opera.  This Intermezzo by Mary Leaf is a lovely piece that brings to mind warm weather and happy days.

This piece is a fairly recent piece, copyrighted in 2012, so I cannot find any videos for it.  However, it is a fresh, new piece. The flowing melody is smoothed by the pedal.  The phrases alternate between quarter note and eighth notes and then half notes in the A section.  The B section is full of arpeggiated chords spanning both hands.  After this, the piece returns to the A section.  The A section phrases are abab1 the first time.  The section A section is much the same, except b1 is elongated to conclude the piece.
