r the first thing to notice is that the left hand for the first full four bars
all that has any repeated II in this is punctuated with a bunch of course in the
right hand that's a pretty straight forward in the right hand 1215
the next chord you move that 12 and five over AC in a sharp
then again you will get up a semitone get 12 and four to close the first for
aids and then a repetition so we get now now we get to the magic with this little
jealous dissection comes in and you actually when I don't want to have your
pedal down
so we have the middle C here
find the see above that the see above that is where you gonna be in 1953 15
again is down to 14 left in 415 lift 1253 times for 125 don't worry about the
rhythm at all in fact your ear will be so much that counting is essentially not
even necessary at this point I think especially if you have the left hand to
keep you in check and let stand is again we have these even the bottom you know
down here
but again they gonna be punctuated so what are the chords three
then these two notes move to the next to wait notes by seven
another senator
down
everything's want to go for the first one now when you put them together the
first thing to note is that in the right-hand you gonna have passed last so
low I think you're already picked up so when you put together we gonna get
something like this to go so now I'm up in inches something that you have the
left hand in the right hands figured out pretty well on their own that you start
to sort of get around with how they put together again get dressed to go right
there next buyer
other night and this is where we'll stop that covers the first two bars of this
major phrase would like to continue this work please visit our website we have
all of that laid out for you there and you can continue and in terms of
peddling the only thing that really needs to be spoken about your in any
detail is that the beginning flux right of the string section and then this is
originally written for each listing which is this kind of felt like
instrument that doesn't necessarily need a pedal to dampen the sound when it's
played the registers so high that the frequencies don't really interfere with
one another in any kind of ugly way so it's a very open sound so good to have
the pedal down here
here I would suggest changing on this note
so there's a little bit of a wash but that's ok we want a little bit of a
wash it gives us sort of equality is posed , ok let me know if you have any
questions if you know any suggestions of what to do different what works and what
doesn't and especially suggestions for future works that you'd like to work on
and until the next video, take care!
