Melisme

"Malisme is a archetypal Kleynjans composition with a pleasant melodic line running over broken chords; the harmonic progression containing no surprises. After hearing the first half of the composition, the whole thing is then more or less repeated with the melody line played as right hand harmonics. The work is quite moody in character and is short-lived enough to not outstay its welcome. This is the type of piece which is ideally suited towards the Grade 5 student as an ideal introduction to playing 'artificial' harmonics. The score is neatly presented with helpful and sensible fingering." - Steve Marsh, Classical Guitar Magazine
