Does it really matter what key a piece is in?
That’s the question that inspired I Remember You, a pop-inspired piano solo that sparked a passionate debate among pianists on social media. This beautiful, expressive ballad is filled with warmth and nostalgia, evoking the feeling of cherished memories and joyful reflection.
This version of I Remember You in F Major brings a mellow, rich tone to the melody, making it a beautiful alternative to the sharp keys. With expressive phrasing and chord symbols for harmonic exploration, this version is perfect for players looking to deepen both their technique and musical expression.
Just like regular pop tunes, the chord symbols are included. Encourage students to analyze the chords and perhaps, create their own melody OR try a different left hand pattern to go with the melody!
