How to learn this song
What you’ll learn
- A flowing broken-chord left hand
- Chord inversions (C/E, F/C)
- Shaping louder and softer
- Smooth pedal changes
Where to put your hands
Left hand spreads over an octave and a bit for each broken chord. Right hand starts with finger 5 on C above middle C.
Tips
- 1Change the pedal on every new chord: up and straight back down as the bass note plays.
- 2Start softly (p), grow through the third line, and be loudest at the high F in bar 15. Fade at the end.
- 3Bars 2 and 5 use inversions: the bass is E and C instead of C and F. Your left hand barely moves.
