Pianist's tips for the hymnal

1. Delete the repeated alto notes and play (melody only) for a smoother; flowing tone

2. For upbeat notes: start RH only (just melody) to give a more balanced entry.

3. For those of you who know about adding tenor to the right hand for fullness:
Play 3 notes in the RH mainly on the stressed beats of the measure.
Playing 3 notes on every beat tends to produce an overworked; labored tone.
