Improvisation

The O Solo Mio left-hand patterns are based on the I, iv, and V7 chords in F major. Can you improvise your own melody using the same left-hand patterns but create melodies in your right hand using any notes from the F scale.  Tip: Start each musical phrase with a note that belongs in the left-hand chord. 

Be sure to a D-flat to create the same interesting melancholy mood in measures 9 and 25 with the B flat minor (not Major) chord.

F Major: F, A or C

C7: G, B, D, F

B-flat: B-flat, D or F
