Some explanation:

On this sheet I tried to put one version of 'Fr Alina', but there are others to find on Youtube,
like playing the high notes in the beginning in stead of the bass notes.
I don't know how the composer wants it to be.

In this marvolous piece you can find:

- That each measure gets one note more until seven notes in measure 9,
than each measure has one note less, except for the last measure.

- That in the left hand each note is one of the b minor chord
until measure 11 where the c# creates this marvolous moment, a kind of subtle pauze.
Even if a listener doesn't know it theoretical, he would hear or feel this special moment too.

- That the notes of the right hand, using the seven notes of the b minor scale,
follow (more or less) the same up and down line of the left hand,
and always stay above those left hand notes (even putted in the same octave, I mean).
