This is a very difficult piece, involving leaps and hand crossings. As it may be difficult to play without looking at your hands, it is crucial to first memorize the melody line. Since the first and second beats are the same note an octave apart, sustain them together for two beats, and memorize the melody by repeatedly singing it, like 'B-C-D-flat-C-C-sharp / D-E-flat-D-F-sharp / G-G-sharp-A-B-C-G-C'. When performing, use your arms with suppleness, and play the second beat lightly, drawing energy from the first beat. This Juggler, like Gillock's 'The Juggler' (from Gillock's 'Album for the Young', No. 6, 'The Juggler'), may not yet be able to juggle skillfully! The balls of sound fly off in all directions. May you all not be thrown off by this charming juggler!
