Get the sheet music here.Welcome to /r/piano! Whether you're an absolute beginner or a seasoned professional, we hope you've come to talk about pianos. That was a long-winded way to say, I love this piece. Gryaznov also arranged this piece, but it’s way more difficult, and I’d need my sausage fingers to stretch beyond what I can. It’s clean and gets the point across, no unnecessary frills. There have been other ethereal and virtuosic reductions of the piece, however, I really like this particular version. Rachmaninoff made a home recording of this piece, but, alas, the phonograph wasn’t known for its quality of sound. So you know that this version is LEGITIMATE, even though it wasn’t written by Rachmaninoff himself. Siloti eventually became a professor at the Moscow Conservatory, and consequently, a teacher of Rachmaninoff. I’m told that this version is a reduction to two hands by Siloti, a former student of Liszt. The Italian Polka was originally written by good ol’ Rachmaninoff for four hands, but, I’m sure you’ve noticed that I only have two, so I couldn’t play it by myself. It took me some time to hunt down this version of the music. Italian Polka – Rachmaninoff, transcribed by Ziloti I’ve picked up this book from a friend, and I believe there’s a newer version out already. I’ve been working on some of the swinging. I can have excuses or results, right?Ĭhestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire – arranged by Carsten Gerlitz That’s why I’m now off to learn some jazz chords, to try to play some presentable jazz by Saturday. All the chords are suss’d or 10th’d or flat’d. I kept looking for a few days, and ended up finding interesting music by composers I’d never heard of, like Kent Hewitt. Arnold Schwarzenegger is Pan’s favourite person in the world. Pan likes to tell me, “You can have results or excuses. Hello brick bookstores aka Tom Lee/Long & Mcquade/Chapters, this is why people are going to Amazon! I couldn’t even find digital versions of those books. Creative, novel versions of classics, the likes of Mark Hayes or Craig Curry. Local stores don’t have the print music that I want, and online stores wouldn’t deliver in time for Christmas. I want the good stuff. Kent Hewitt has clear explanations on basic jazz techniques, if you’re interested.
Think of the pedal point as some double bass player. Simple? Then you’d add an interesting rhythm to the bass G while maintaining the melody.
Some of these techniques, like pedal tones, are simple to grasp.Ī pedal tone means continuing to play one chord’s tonic in the bass note of the left hand, regardless of what changes in the right hand, to create a suspenseful feeling in the music.įor example, the tonic for G major is G, so the left bass would play a G, and the right hand melody could shift to D major/A major/anything, but the left hand lowest bass would still be the single G. To spice up my music when I’m playing Christmas music, I’m trying to use more jazz improv techniques. If you come to this month’s online Music Hangout, you’ll probably hear me play some of these pieces. Holidays are right around the corner! I’m going to talk about some of the music I’m playing right now.
