Strauss, The Blue Danube. 2 2
I'm sure everyone will recognize this waltz. 3 3
Practice both hands separately first of all for 4 4
a long time before you try hands together. 5 5
And there's a few tricks that will help you learn the song. 6 6
Chord tones, so, let's play the melody. 7 7
[MUSIC] 8 8
We all know that. 9 9
The right hand goes up the broken C chord first of all, 10 10
then the whole hand position moves so you can do an octave. 11 11
So if you watch it closely. 12 12
[MUSIC] 13 13
Again, bounce the whole hand. 14 14
[MUSIC] 15 15
So it's very important, your hand position is very important. 16 16
The left hand uses a lot of split chords and it's very repetitive so 17 17
it's not too difficult. 18 18
So [SOUND] it's a waltz rhythm, remember one, two, three, one, two, three. 19 19
[MUSIC] 20 20
And that looks like it's D, but it's actually 21 21
[MUSIC] 22 22
So, it's the top part of the, [SOUND] G, okay? 23 23
There's G, it's using the fifth with the seventh and the root. 24 24
[MUSIC] 25 25
Now, you're back to bar 14, you're back to C and so on. 26 26
And then you go up to C backwards. 27 27
[MUSIC] 28 28
Up again to D minor backwards. 29 29
[MUSIC] 30 30
Then you're back to that. 31 31
[MUSIC] 32 32
[MUSIC] 33 33
And so on, and hopefully that will give you some idea of how it goes.
