Here is a recording of the famous pianist, Arthur Rubinstein, playing this piece. This beautiful classical piano piece has a very peaceful, soothing sound. You can often hear this performed as a duet between piano and cello, piano and violin, or piano and voice. If you choose to learn a duet version, the pianist plays a series of repeating arpeggios throughout.
There are piano solo transcriptions, as well. This link shows an example of a simplified version for piano only: Music Notes. Regardless of the version you choose to learn, when playing repeating arpeggios it is a good idea to pivot the hand to reach the upper notes in these arpeggios to reduce tension. Here is a video showing a pianist accompanying a cellist. Listen to the repeating chord pattern throughout. The left-hand features two rolling chords, while the right-hand consists of a steady succession of notes going down and then up.
Each time the melody repeats, it might move to an octave higher or change just one note at the end of the phrase. Here is a video showing a simplified version for a solo pianist. The piece has an ethereal quality and is mostly played very softly, or pianissimo. It has been used in several movies and thus is a popular choice when wanting to learn an easy classical piano piece.
The original piece is for advanced pianists, but the beginning theme can be adapted, as in versions such as this one published by Alfred Music or this version by Piano Pronto. The video below shows three different simplified versions available for purchase at PianoPronto. The chord structure is simple, given that you can play just three types of chords to accompany the main theme.
The right-hand melody consists of quarter notes played over a span of five notes, which means that the piano fingering for this piece is intuitive and easy to remember.
Here is one example of how the theme can be simplified. Minuet in G Major is an ideal piece for the aspiring piano player.
This piece can be quickly memorized as it has a lot of repetition. Its use of five-note scales throughout the right-hand makes it intuitive to learn. If you compare and study just the first note of each measure, it can help you train your right-hand where it needs to move during the piece. In the video at the end of this lesson, you'll find links to each of these pieces so you can download the actual sheet music for them and have them in your repertoire.
This is great because you can play them with me as well in the video in step 5. Bach's music is so valuable to pianists because it really helps to strengthen and develop your technical skills and your musicianship at the same time.
Let's take a look at the 1st piece by Bach that I recommend for beginning piano students. I recommend that you open up the video in a new tab so you can watch it while you go through this lesson.
The Prelude in C is really one of the best Bach pieces to start with when you're ready to start playing some classical music. It has an easy Key Signature to play - C Major, which has no sharps or flats It has easy rhythms to play and understand so you won't be overwhelmed with anything too complex It has easy hand and finger patterns that follow throughout the piece, so once you get the pattern down, in the beginning, you won't have to learn another one later on in the piece.
It's easy to listen to and it is relaxing to play. In this piece, the left-hand plays the very bottom note and the note right above that one This pattern repeats throughout so once you get it in the first few measures, you'll be set for the rest.
All that will change will be the notes. The measures also flow from one to the next easily This Minuet is known by so many people! It's commonly thought to be a piece written by Bach, but actually it was written in the style of Bach by a composer named Christian Petzold. Because the style is so similar to Bach, it offers the same technical work that will develop your skills just as if you were playing Bach.
It has an easy Key signature just like the Prelude did. In this case, the Key is G Major, which had one sharp; F. It has easier rhythms than the Prelude and the patterns flow throughout the piece. The wish to go somewhere with a bus is your actual desire to learn something on the piano.
The wish to take a bus to a place is founded in a belief that this place has something for you. By knowing what you want with your piano playing you will get the power or motivation to do something about it. Finding the right bus starts with knowing where you are going. When you have decided what type of pianist you want to become it will be much easier to set goals and to choose the right type of exercises.
The time of arrival Before you can definitely decide which bus to take you will have to figure out when you want to arrive at you destination. In piano playing this means that your goals will be much more effective if you set a deadline when you goal is to be accomplished.
The goal will be much more meaningful and exciting if you have set a reasonable deadline. It would be a nightmare to travel on a bus without knowing if the ride will take three hours or three days or a week! I would not think that you would ever consider taking such a bus!
The art of buying a ticket When you know where you are and want to go and the date of arrival you can dare to buy a ticket. In piano playing this means the time when your wish goes from a decision to a commitment. You gain momentum when you dare to make this commitment to yourself and maybe other people.
