hi there my name is igor from smart
classical piano . com we're going to be
looking at a piece by board and today
the theme from his pallavi Tiant dances
from the Opera prince igor you can watch
this first part here on YouTube and if
you'd like to continue learning the
piece please visit our website smart
classical piano . com you can start your
free trial there and finish the work
go ahead and play it for you don't
forget to subscribe leave us a comment
below and here we go
ok so let's have a look at the left hand
first
the left hand is only chords so we can
learn it in position first and then we
can contextualize it with the rhythm
later these begins in this position 542
and one and you play this court three
times the middle of which the second
playing of which is longer than the
other two short short right that's more
or less how it is throughout the piece
so it'll be 1234 1234
just remember that and just map it onto
the notes as we go through the piece
first bars port moving on to one and
four again same rhythm 1 2 3 4 X bar 53
and one same thing next bar is exactly
the same thing on 542 same rhythm twice
we have two bars of this for you
for and the next part 53 same with him
three four 1234 and the last one changes
to five and one
ok so let's have a look at just the
cords 514 1153 3421
so that's 542 again
right 353 the last one is 150 and being
ok take some time and learn just the
left hand in court form you can play it
short long short just to get your sort
of you know your head in the game and
you make sure that you feel comfortable
with how long you hold each one and
let's look at the right-hand 2 a's 500e
more time that's
45 321 to 340 going on that's 5 21 21
born again
for i scooch up and slide your finger up
the key so that you can reach the d
sharp with your thumb without any
contortions that you can just play it
comfortably now you hold this down and
play 532 and then bring your thumb down
to e 31
what
it's one more time from the Tooheys we
have 114 slide up for that I still down
3-2 now move
31
so you can pause and play this as needed
please learn the notes on their own
don't worry about the rhythm once you
uncomfortable with the fingering the
notes come back and we'll do it with
accounting and here it is with
accounting one-and two-and three-and
four-and one-and two-and three-and
four-and one-and two-and
24 and that's what we're going to stop
now we're going to do with both hands
together just so you can see where the
to line up and I might call out together
right or left
whatever ends up happening so in the
beginning we're gonna start together
together right hand left left together
right right to get their rights and
that's kind of complicated to follow
that i'm going to go ahead and do it
with the counting alone and slowly with
both hands
1234
two
and.and that more or less covers that
there's nothing complicated about the
rhythm outside of just knowing which is
a fast engines are slow and each of the
notes tends to line up with something in
the right hand on the left hand so
there's not a lot of juggling
rhythmically to do here so this section
that i just played for you i did a lot
at once it's a lot to swallow with just
one playing so pause and play each
section as needed and just going through
a bar by bar with every chord change in
the left-hand learn the right hand with
it and then press plane going to the
next bar left hand right hand put
together and the first two bars and the
first three bars and mixed you know so
on until you finish the first phrase I
suppose
