Note after Note · Level 2 (Beginner) · 20th century · Piano

A slow modal waltz in the manner of Erik Satie: bass and chord swaying between two harmonies, a simple melody floating above.

How to practise it

  • Listen first: the site plays it while the score scrolls.
  • Wait mode: the score waits for you at every note, at your own pace.
  • Tempo challenge: play in time, with a score and a map of the bars you got right.
  • Left hand: the hand moves as a block by a fourth (D → G) keeping the 5-2-1 fingering. The left-hand bass on beat 1 is light, the chord even lighter. No loud dynamics: everything stays p , very legato, never hurried.
