If you have some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pianote.com\/blog\/piano-chords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chord theory<\/a> knowledge, you&#8217;ll see that it&#8217;s just a steady one-two of mostly G and D major chord shapes. The pinky can jump around though, so it&#8217;s a good idea to look a measure ahead and see where you&#8217;re going next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the melody, really focus on the phrasing. See if you can bring out and shape the melody from the left-hand accompaniment.

The four sharps can be intimidating and the original piece is quite advanced, but if you learn the simplified version we offer here, it should provide you with a good stepping-stone to the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, some knowledge of chords will help you read the arpeggios in the left hand. (See more sight-reading tips <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pianote.com\/blog\/how-to-read-piano-notes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>). The right hand has some acrobatic parts, so practice the right hand on its own and go slow at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Articulation and expression are what separates the great pianists from the good, so pay attention to how you shape the melody here! Notice how Lisa speeds up and slows down ever so slightly during parts of the piece where there&#8217;s more tension. This is called <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pianote.com\/blog\/piano-terms\/#rubato\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rubato<\/a><\/em>. Use your innate musicality (which we all have!) to add slight variations in tempo to express yourself in this piece.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"527\" height=\"702\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/11101034\/Franz-liszt-in-hungarian-costume-watercolour-by-josef-friehuber-1838.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white drawing of Victorian era man with jaw length hair and tight necktie crossing arms.\" class=\"wp-image-15305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/11101034\/Franz-liszt-in-hungarian-costume-watercolour-by-josef-friehuber-1838.jpg 527w, https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/11101034\/Franz-liszt-in-hungarian-costume-watercolour-by-josef-friehuber-1838-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin (1810-1849)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"blue-text-block\"><center><h3 style=\"font-size: 22px;\"><b>\ud83c\udfb9 Never Miss a Song Tutorial<\/b><\/h3><p>Love our video tutorial?

So, practice your left hand by itself a few times and build that muscle memory! After a while, you&#8217;ll start to notice patterns\u2014most of these leaps are just octaves, which means you&#8217;re just playing the same note one octave higher or lower \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The right hand can get quite acrobatic too. Don&#8217;t be afraid to practice slow and to write in your fingering. And don&#8217;t lose hope\u2014Bach songs can be tricky. After all, the &#8220;Air&#8221; was originally written for strings in mind, not piano, so it may feel less &#8220;ergonomic&#8221; for us keyboard players!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/11101448\/Johann_Sebastian_Bach.jpg\" alt=\"Baroque painting of man with white wig curls wearing suit jacket and holding piece of music.\" class=\"wp-image-15306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/11101448\/Johann_Sebastian_Bach.jpg 480w, https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/11101448\/Johann_Sebastian_Bach-244x300.jpg 244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">J.S.
