The second volume of a two-volume collection of piano miniatures. "Level 3" is a difficulty indicator specific to Kjos Music Company, the originator of the Bastien method. It is intended for early intermediate players, roughly equivalent to the grade of a Sonatina Album. "Rainbow's End" has multiple meanings, including "a distant ideal," and is an idiom that also appears in the lyrics of "Moon River." This title likely aims to encourage learners striving towards high goals. The atmosphere is even more mature and relaxed than Volume 1 (Level 2). Many pieces have a leisurely, resort-like feel. It is best enjoyed with a light heart, without getting too caught up in minor details.
