Quiet Moments with You, Early Intermediate Solo
Inspired by improvisation- Quiet Moments with You is a reflective piece using minimal chord progressions- giving space for the Right hand melody to wander and explore. Isn’t that the way of life? As humans, we make plans to create our life path; yet events happen and then we are forced to improvise. And sometimes, in those moments, something wonderful happens. Perhaps a new beginning? Maybe Something beautiful.
This piece began life as an improvisation study for my student in the style of Erik Satie. I would love for you try it too, you only need the first 4 bars.
Options- DUET: 1 person plays the Bass clef in 2 hands (Left hand- bass note, Right hand- chord). 1 person explores a melody on all White keys. SOLO: Left hand plays the same notes in Bass clef, but Right explores. Use all White keys (Simple- A minor Pentascale, More advanced- any note is available.) Use scale movements, thirds, and chords, let you imagination flow! Notice throughout the piece there are different Left Hand patterns- use whichever one suits you.
Key: A Natural minor with a D Major 9 chord for color.
Time signature: 3/4
Skill development: Lyrical, expressive playing, Left Hand leaps
What level: Early Intermediate
How long: Cover + 3 pages, Performance time 02:20.
