The South Wind
The South Wind is a very popular waltz in G Major. Think 1-2-3, 1-2-3 as you’re playing it. Since it is in G major, it is necessary to use C naturals and a weak C natural may be noticeable. You’ll want to either practice strengthening the tone of your two-fingered C natural or consider using a keyed option instead. See Tips for the Tune below for guidance on this issue.
