I like to listen to it but I don’t like to watch the guitarists and the violinists do that piece. It seems to be such an effort. And some soloists look really angry. I’m relieved for them when they’re finished. Vivaldi was a very good violinist himself. And I think he wrote that part just to show off. He never worried about anybody else having to play it later. Liszt did the same thing with his piano compositions. So, so difficult for anybody but him and his incredible acrobatic fingers.
You’re right about Liszt. I didn’t know that Vivaldi was a good violinist. Thanks for sharing that knowledge. I’m never to old to learn. I’ve almost got the intro to Come Sail Away down. The right hand sixteenth notes at the end of the second measure were hard and I’m still having trouble with the right hand trill while doing the left hand Alberti bass.
Glad you’re still working at Come Sail Away. Do you count loud? It would help a lot when putting both hands together. Look at the piece, count it, and insist on the AND.
1 AND 2 AND 3 AND 4 AND. Your eyes will visualize what both hands have to play on the Number and on the AND.
On the second measure, when you arrive at 4, your right hand plays two notes for 4 and two notes for AND. It does that all along with sixteenth notes. in a 4/4 measure. I wish I could be there. You would get that in a jiffy.
I only have the Sample page and I don’t see a right hand trill anywhere???
Also, if you keep listening to the song, your ears will catch the proper rhythm and the tune. Although it’s covered up by all the guys’ gymnastic…Good luck!
The right hand trill is in the third measure on the sheet music I have. I changed the left hand since in the music it stops at a G. I finish the Alberti bass with a D and add a C. It sounds nicer. Having never done a trill before I just need to exercise my fingers.
I have dug out my old Class Piano music book and have decided to go back to basics and relearn sight reading and practicing scales.
I too wish you were near since there is so much I could learn from you. I am seriously considering private lessons. I wish I hadn’t let my piano skills atrophy but after my accident I put all of my energy into learning how to walk and then at work outworking my peers so no one could ever say I was a Diversity (All Hail Diversity!) employee and the only reason I had a job was because I was disabled. No one ever did. They may have hated me but they had to respect me.
I am so thankful I saw that Mentalist episode with the blind lady playing the Prelude in C Major. It got me back to the piano again.
Fun and interesting! All I learned about Vivaldi, a great violinist virtuoso…….http://www.baroquemusic.org/bqxvivaldi.html….
