"Shoo Fly" seems to be in a lot of piano primers. So there's an earlier version (difference: 1 note). There is a G# minor inversion that was possibly a typo when I was typing up the score, but which is more interesting than repeating the E major chord all the time, so I kept it. I actually liked this piece, maybe because of all the harmony chords I was adding.Īgain, music URL here (not that it matters, but for the scores I typed up for this recital, I am authorizing any honest and decent use, including commercial or public use): As it is, I allowed myself a few accidentals. Perhaps if I wanted to take that all the way, I would sharp the A more often. If you listen to the audio recording, it is just under 2 minutes while the linked video with slide show is 3 minutes.Įxperiment with a key signature with some sharps, since some of these are thought to be more ergonomic than all ivory key signatures.
Luckily I was able to copy the middle 1 minute and padded that on to the end. Once I learnt the piece I realized it was only 2 minutes long. I put together the slide show and had less than 14 days to decide on an appropriate piece of music that I could learn from scratch in time to be played with the video slide show. In the middle of the funeral there was to be a video slide show. The funeral started with the Adagio from Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A Major and finished with Laudate Dominum from The Requiem. I was asked to choose the music for the funeral and knowing Dad's taste I kept it to Mozart. I wanted to contribute something to the funeral without doing an eulogy via video link. I could not attend the funeral, I am in the UK and it was not possible to enter Australia at the time. My Dad was a big Mozart fan and he died earlier this year.

Romance from Eine Kleine Nacht Musik K525 2nd Movement, Piano transcription by Clem Virgo * Sonatina G Major - Op 36, No 2, Mvmt 3 (Clementi)
* Sonatina C Major - Op 36, No 1, Mvmt 1 (Clementi) * When the Planets are Aligned (Nancy Telfer) These are pieces I've seen played at many children recitals PS - The other pieces submitted don't have much of a description. That's the best I can describe it and it's been the biggest game changer for me in my practice. The sound will be sloppy to start, but it gets cleaner over time as you practice using your body to produce the sounds, and eliminate any tension after each note played. I also watched a YT video recently where Emma suggests to play with the idea of loose hands, similar to what I described above. At first, the writing was sloppy, but over time you refine the movement to make it cleaner. So I tried to write with less tension, as if my hand was dead and I needed to use my arm and body to move it. I found that I would grip the pen like it was the last pen on the planet. I started to take notice of tension in my body throughout the day, with simple things like typing and writing with a pen. I think once you eliminate tension from your playing, piano is easy Seriously, this time of reflection has given me a different outlook on practice. I've been going back to easier pieces and practicing/playing in a more relaxed manner and really focusing on eliminating tension from my playing. I think the timing of this Beginner themed recital was perfect! I stopped lessons back in May, life got busy quickly. I think, it may be a slight exaggeration, but I found his pieces interesting.īook 1 of "Happy time" is labelled as "primary", but the pieces vary greatly in difficulty, from preparatory (Waltzing, Obsession) to Grade 4 (Melody).ĥ and 1/2 years now, actually 6 years in December! The preface in my copy of "Happy time" calls him "one of the most important composers in the world". As composer he concentrated chiefly on the symphonic and chamber music, but also wrote a lot of pieces for beginners.
