everybody we're going to be doing the
theme from Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky know
there's a lot of themes in this piece a
lot of melodies that are very
recognizable this is probably the most
famous so we'll start with this one and
here it is
ok there it is
ok we're going to be looking the first
few bars of this piece today and as you
may or may not have noticed that the
theme repeats here right
we had one statement of the theme and
then repetition which was varied a
little bit the left-hand harmony changes
voicing quite a lot and we're going to
be doing just the first statement of the
thing today and if you want to keep

the work
let's start with the left hand oh yeah
subscribe and all that stuff you get
here we go 542
so what's happening here is an a minor
arpeggio we start with the bottom to the
top and back down the same way we went
up right 542 1212
and when you get back down to this a
this is where the right hand comes in
so i'll continue now from the beginning
with the left hand with the fingering
fine too
x-bar same thing 542
only up to the thumb doesn't go over
next 5 for 21
next back to a minor
right for 2262 same thing for to have to
the thumb next
she won 3-1
sooo
one
so there's a lot of repetition here
especially with regard to fingering
write a lot of 542 ones here that'll
come in handy when you have to delegate
your attention to the right-hand ok cool
so that's more or less the left-hand now
what i should mention before we start
doing the right hand is the pedaling
here peddling is important because it's
really the left-handed dictates how or
in this case is left-handed dictates the
pedaling because it's with every pretty
much with every harmony change so one
pedal down for all of this still down
change on this one
and change
change
so there's no pedals do we don't want
want this mix so just federal accept
and then it was back down
take your time watch this as many times
as necessary but make sure that the left
hand is very secure with the pedaling
and with the fingerings as well when
that's done
we can have a look at the right hand now
I didn't look at the rhythm of the
left-hand because it's very
straightforward there's only one spot
where we have a quarter note everything
else is AIT's so once we put it together
i think the rhythm will become clear
when I actually counted out loud okay
right hand starting with five next was
just all the fingers
1 2 3 4 5 next 35 35 lift 315
she won
five second finger lifts here but not
the first and then connect 411
that's pretty much it
learn the fingerings and the notes and
then come back for the rhythm which is
this barn and two and three and two and
four one and two and three and two and
three and then it kind of continues
that's for the part 2 of this tutorial
alright so take care of both of the
hands respectively and come back to put
it together
I'm gonna play it very slowly with both
hands with counting so that you can go
back and forth and and see how the notes
lineup three
one
two
