"Jupiter" is one of the more well-known and popular pieces from this suite among classical music fans, because of its majestic, beautiful melody. Helpful Hint In this tune, the Lower Memory function is turned on. When the Lower Memory is set to on, the Lower keyboard Voices and chord accompaniment keep playing (along with the rhythm) even after you release your fingers from the Lower keyboard. This means that if you hit a wrong note by mistake, the "wrong" accompaniment will continue sounding until you re-play the chord. Be very careful to press the correct keys when you play chords with your left hand.
