This 'Pastorale,' as its title '～Sunset Blues～' suggests, transitions into a jazzy atmosphere during the interlude. Dotted notes should be played loosely rather than too sharply to achieve a bluesy nuance. The key to this variation lies in the bass playing. The bass on the first beat of the opening should be played with punch and deep resonance, while the walking bass from the middle section should be played as if articulating each note distinctly. The chords also differ slightly from the original piece, so please enjoy these differences.

The 'Option' is an example of a variation that is even more fully jazzy! Please also try your hand at cool improvisations unique to your style! (From the composer/arranger's collection)
