00:00:00,290  -->  00:00:02,290
Chopin, Waltz in A minor.
2

2

00:00:03,330  -->  00:00:07,390
This next piece is also quite easy once
you analyze the chords and pattens.
3

3

00:00:07,390  -->  00:00:10,900
The right hand's going to play
a simple enough melody line.
4

4

00:00:10,900  -->  00:00:15,750
The left hand's playing the Cm
chord progression four times.
5

5

00:00:15,750  -->  00:00:18,550
So if you look at the sheet music,
you'll see each row,
6

6

00:00:18,550  -->  00:00:20,280
same chord progression four times.
7

7

00:00:21,630  -->  00:00:23,790
The left hand is a stride pattern.
8

8

00:00:23,790  -->  00:00:27,450
First left hand note of each bar is
the root note of the chord that follows.
9

9

00:00:28,907  -->  00:00:33,992
And also the right hand very often uses
a chord note at the start of each bar.
10

10

00:00:33,992  -->  00:00:34,840
At least a third.
11

11

00:00:36,287  -->  00:00:40,340
So try the left hand chord progression
before you do hands together.
12

12

00:00:41,660  -->  00:00:44,225
Notice how low the first A note is,
right there probably off screen.
13

13

00:00:44,225  -->  00:00:45,438
[MUSIC]
14

14

00:00:45,438  -->  00:00:48,423
A up to A minor, root position.
15

15

00:00:48,423  -->  00:00:52,864
The middle C, all the chords are gonna be
16

16

00:00:52,864  -->  00:00:57,580
based around middle C, so A minor, root.
17

17

00:00:57,580  -->  00:00:59,169
[SOUND] Moving up to D, D minor middle.
18

18

00:00:59,169  -->  00:00:59,970
[MUSIC]
19

19

00:00:59,970  -->  00:01:01,840
Up to G 7.
20

20

00:01:01,840  -->  00:01:03,849
Lever to fifth.
21

21

00:01:03,849  -->  00:01:06,304
C middle.
22

22

00:01:06,304  -->  00:01:16,304
[MUSIC]
23

23

00:01:21,319  -->  00:01:24,477
So the right hand fits in
very nicely with the chords.
24

24

00:01:24,477  -->  00:01:28,595
So second bar,
start of second bar both on A.
25

25

00:01:28,595  -->  00:01:33,477
[SOUND] And then up to D, both hands.
26

26

00:01:33,477  -->  00:01:37,604
[SOUND] And then the third of a G.
27

00:01:37,604  -->  00:01:44,862
[MUSIC]
28

28

00:01:44,862  -->  00:01:45,801
Back to A both hands.
29

29

00:01:45,801  -->  00:01:48,679
Keep the pedal on each bar, and
30

30

00:01:48,679  -->  00:01:53,674
then lift to put it back on
again till you're on the D.
31

31

00:01:53,674  -->  00:01:56,885
[MUSIC]
32

32

00:01:56,885  -->  00:01:57,465
Clear to the G.
33

33

00:01:57,465  -->  00:02:00,669
Bounce up onto the C.
34

34

00:02:00,669  -->  00:02:05,137
[MUSIC]
35

35

00:02:05,137  -->  00:02:08,981
So then you almost repeat all that except
with a small variation near the end.
