Piano And Keyboards
Post your piano/keys stuff here. Ripping some Chopin, Beethoven, Bartok, or whoever? Love it. Just got a new Hammond and rotary speaker and want to show it off? Can't get enough of it. Got a band with a really awesome keyboardist, and want to show them off? Gimme it. Stuck in the orchestra pit with nothing to do for three hours waiting for your one moment of celesta glory on The Magic Flute? I feel your pain. Just discovered Oscar Peterson and want to share your astonishment? Fam, same. Learning piano and got noob questions? I'm here for it. Got an original DX7 and want to show us all how to program new voices? I've actually never figured that out, can you teach me too?
Rules:
- Don't be a jerk.
- Self-promotion is encouraged, but try to also post stuff that isn't you.
- Be cool about giving and receiving feedback. When in doubt, see r1.
- Having fun is mandatory.
Is sustain pedal usually down for this sort of piece? If so, just play both times. If not, I might leave of the b in the left hand? Or replay it softly?
I think you are reading it right. Hold that b with the right hand. I assume this is done to more clearly indicate the musical structure than it is to tell you how to play it. A little like the consistency of pieces that have e# in them.
Thank you
Pick one hand to play the note. Pick whichever one makes the most musical or technical sense. I would play it on the right hand so it's easier to phrase the melody.
When the b is repeated, use the left hand because its accompaniment now. The pedal will give enough sustain.
What is the piece? Context is important for interpretation.
Play it on a pipe organ where your hands are on different keyboards?
