Handstucke fur angehende Klavierspieler - Pieces for Aspiring Players
This lively work Four Clubs? - Pass! is the thirtieth piece in Daniel Gottlob Türk's Handstücke für angehende Klavierspieler.It is set in the key of E Major.
Please note the the sign // (measures 2, 4, etc.) is used by Türk to indicate that the note should be played with a lifting touch in order to round-off the end of the phrase.
This sign should NOT be confused with the ornament // (trill) of the Baroque English virginalists.
Also, the f (forte) in the upbeat to measure 1 does not appear in the source and is thus editorial.
Moreover, the title, although left unexplained by Türk, is a player's response to a bid of four clubs in a game of cards.
