Chopin, Waltz in A minor. 2 2
This next piece is also quite easy once you analyze the chords and pattens. 3 3
The right hand's going to play a simple enough melody line. 4 4
The left hand's playing the Cm chord progression four times. 5 5
So if you look at the sheet music, you'll see each row, 6 6
same chord progression four times. 7 7
The left hand is a stride pattern. 8 8
First left hand note of each bar is the root note of the chord that follows. 9 9
And also the right hand very often uses a chord note at the start of each bar. 10 10
At least a third. 11 11
So try the left hand chord progression before you do hands together. 12 12
Notice how low the first A note is, right there probably off screen. 13 13
[MUSIC] 14 14
A up to A minor, root position. 15 15
The middle C, all the chords are gonna be 16 16
based around middle C, so A minor, root. 17 17
[SOUND] Moving up to D, D minor middle. 18 18
[MUSIC] 19 19
Up to G 7. 20 20
Lever to fifth. 21 21
C middle. 22 22
[MUSIC] 23 23
So the right hand fits in very nicely with the chords. 24 24
So second bar, start of second bar both on A. 25 25
[SOUND] And then up to D, both hands. 26 26
[SOUND] And then the third of a G. 27 27
[MUSIC] 28 28
Back to A both hands. 29 29
Keep the pedal on each bar, and 30 30
then lift to put it back on again till you're on the D. 31 31
[MUSIC] 32 32
Clear to the G. 33 33
Bounce up onto the C. 34 34
[MUSIC] 35 35
So then you almost repeat all that except with a small variation near the end. 36 36
