Extra Information Pseudo tonal. I wrote this for Corinne's brother, P.J. Youngbar for his 2nd birthday. I had him sit on my lap while I played the piece. At my direction he was able to play the two G naturals whenever they came in apart from the rest of the music (measures 3, 7, and 18). These are the two notes that make up the anacrusis to the beginning of the melody.
