I dont know what degree of detail is wanted. Won't you tell how you so nearly captured measures 9-17 and blipped the image above your message. * In measure 10th in beats 3 and 4 the CEG accord * Please see the pedalling in Lighinin's score in measure 9 the two differently inverted accords CEGbB
Congrats on your progress!ĥ)In this piece the pedalling is used to enhance the notes that form one same accord. I think it is a tough piece for an 8th month beginner. When staccatto dots are linked by a slur the duration of the note is shorted by 1/3rd only.ģ) I don’t know what the () you mention might mean.Ĥ) About the smooth transition, I’m sure that since you are using the right fingering with some more slow practice and an extra effort at concentration you will be able to play it well shortly. Usually, the staccato reduces the duration of the note to its half. Well, as you can guess it is played neither as a legato nor as a staccato. Stupid me! We must be playing similar versions, because like you, I have staccato dots under a slur.

So in the beginning, for a few minutes, do just those few notes, over and over, slow enough you can do it, and then it becomes a "natural" thing for your fingers to do, and then no longer a problem, even at faster speeds.Įxcuse my delay: Work, family plus time difference …Ģ) I’ve tried to upload measure 9 to 16 as well but I can’t manage.
The happy farmer piano how to#
I may not understand, but if it is not fingering, then are you learning this part a few notes at time? That is, are you learning it by just repeating a few notes, like half a measure, or maybe one measure, over and over repeatedly but very slowly, to teach your fingers how to make those movements? There is a speed you can do it at first, even if very slow. This part coming back is harder for me than the first part getting there. Then the following finger 5 to the single F is a slight stretch for me, but with practice, I can still just "drop" them back to the next same chord fairly easily. Fingering this part really doesnt seem hard, it feels pretty natural. Then the chord just adds finger 4 on D to that 1 and 2 (which are already still over the right notes F and Bb for the chord). Then the measure 12 begins with left finger 3 on Bb, and right finger 2 on Bb, which are easy reaches. The F's just before that twelfth measure uses fingers left 5 and Right 1 on the Fs. My guess is that your fingering may not be the best way? All of the Bs are black keys, except for a few natural signs that are not.
In my book, The Happy Farmer is in the key of F, so all the B's are instead Bb. I think the universal advice is always "slow down" My previous piece was a very simplfied version of The Entertainer, which was the only imaginable way I could do it. It is called The Merry Farmer in my book, but it has both names, a translation issue from German I suppose. I am also learning Schumann's The Happy Farmer right now. Thanks in advance for any comments/advice. Or is it a practical way to get through a piece with small parts that are just too difficult? Is that a correct interpretation? If so, what do people think about this? Does it feel like "cheating"? I have the Suzuki Piano book 2 version which has the f-b part of the f-b-d chord in parentheses which I think means something like "if it's too hard to play these notes then don't". Does this require pedalling? I've stayed away from pedalling so far, choosing pieces that don't seem to need it. The repeated b makes this very difficult (The 2nd f-b-d chord is also difficult because of the repeated f, but since the f's are played by different hands it seems like it might be possible to get it sounding good). I just can't seem to play the first f-b-d chord legato. I found it quite challenging, but doable, until I got to measure 12 where you have to play a legato phrase with the right hand. I recently started on Schumann's Happy Farmer. I can hack my way through some of the Bach minuets from the Anna Magdelena Notebook, Bach little prelude in C major bwv 939, Beethoven's Sonatina in G (first movement), and a few others. I've been having a great time learning piano without a teacher for about 8 months.
