that's based on the first prelude of J.S.Bach
it's a relatively famous piece you might have heard it
that's how the original goes essentially he took this
they put a melody over it's something to be sang now we're not going to be singing
today but we will play the melody in the right hand

but before I do there's a couple words i should say about it
our version of this piece is slightly simplified for a couple reasons first of
all it's gonna be an f-major instead of C major
I generally don't like change changing keys but this piece with this piece
singers change keys all the time so don't feel too bad about it
also if we're going to have in this hand the melody and this is just the left
well then we're going we would have something like this
and that's a little bit more technically demanding all those switches and just
the piece is replete through the replete with these sort of figuration so I'm
going to leave that ours is a little bit simpler without so much
acrobatics and here it is
yeah
this is rolling stack very pretty
so what I'd like to do is first have a look at the left hand
this will do
we start an f-major five three two and one
let's do the sequence in court first
and this is your first chord that's your first bar
the next chord five four two and one
that was at the next part
now these outside notes and the crew just learned 5 and 1 are going to move
down by step
the middle two are going to stay put your next chord
moving on to the fourth bar back
so that's the first step
their first task is to learn that in court form
now once you have that down we break it down we break it up into the figuration
as written
so the figuration is this first from bottom to the top then from the second
last note to the top and back one
so
yeah
and brought him to talk second last know
and then once you get that in you do without any pauses
now this is exactly the same for every single other configuration
biscuit
now the right hand on its own
all we have we just have I think four or five different notes very
straightforward with an a on second finger third finger another people out
here third finger see
that's basically the gist of it
I want to put this together we're going to have an a on the full first bar
so far so good the next note B flat
so now we have a second be fine but where exactly so i'm going to count this
bar so you can see where i'm placing the second B flat 2 3 4
once you can't the fourth beat is going to be on the D in the left hand
34
next
let's see this is going to be four fold three beats
three
yeah
first thing around four
yeah
so let's do all that again now with counting throughout -
three
