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:
It seems that this score is asking me to play the same B with both hands here. I think I've spotted another piece that does this too. How should I approach this? Do I kind of acknowledge that it's indicating a continuation of the left-hand pattern but ignore that B in the left hand at this spot and play it with the right? Thanks in advance
( ͡° ͜ ͡°)
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.
