Il modo maggiore.</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;[Post n.10] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Finora ci siamo occupati di progressioni con un solo accordo e abbiamo visto come modificando semplicemente una parte di esso sia possibile costruire ad esempio la strofa di un brano. Ora facciamo un passo avanti e esploriamo le possibilità che abbiamo a disposizione se cominciamo a lavorare con due accordi. Supponiamo tuttavia di non sapere proprio da dove iniziare. Da dove e come scegliamo due accordi? &lt;b&gt;La prima cosa da fare è analizzare le scale&lt;/b&gt;. Prendiamo qui in esempio la scala di DO maggiore, ma il discorso vale per tutte le tonalità maggiori. Ecco di seguito innanzitutto la scala di DO maggiore composta dalle note DO, RE, MI, FA, SOL, LA, SI (oppure C, D, E, F, G, A, B nella terminologia internazionale):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5BruamD0pp8/T0AWypMq1kI/AAAAAAAAAQw/Vmc5GTAKS1U/s1600/Scala_maggiore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="33" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5BruamD0pp8/T0AWypMq1kI/AAAAAAAAAQw/Vmc5GTAKS1U/s400/Scala_maggiore.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I singoli suoni della scala si chiamano &lt;span class="st"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;gradi&lt;span class="st"&gt;». &lt;/span&gt;Costruiamo quindi su ogni grado di questa scala una triade (accordo di tre suoni) aggiungendo alla nota di partenza (I grado, tonica o fondamentale) la terza e la quinta. &lt;/b&gt;Attenzione che nei sette accordi che costruiamo sui sette gradi della scala maggiore, noi non usiamo altro che i sette suoni della scala, non aggiungiamo alterazioni per rispettare gli intervalli (quindi ad esempio la terza di RE non sarà FA# ma FA). In DO maggiore le triadi costruite sui gradi della scala sono dunque le seguenti (sopra l'accordo trovate il nome, sotto invece il numero romano indica il grado della scala):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RnmiBpQ7Ca4/T0AZG6A9xeI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/klPHkt5df7g/s1600/triadi+scala+maggiore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="57" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RnmiBpQ7Ca4/T0AZG6A9xeI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/klPHkt5df7g/s400/triadi+scala+maggiore.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Le triadi così generate sono di 3 tipi:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;i&gt;triadi maggiori&lt;/i&gt; o accordi perfetti maggiori - si trovano sul I, IV e V grado (DO, FA e SOL)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;i&gt;triadi minori&lt;/i&gt; o accordi perfetti minori - si trovano sul II, III e VI grado (REm, MIm, LAm)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;i&gt;triade diminuita&lt;/i&gt; o accordo di quinta diminuita - si trova solo sul VII grado (SIdim).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;A questo punto il nostro problema, ovvero il non sapere dove iniziare è praticamente risolto. Ci costruiamo infatti delle sequenze armoniche di due accordi basandoci sulle triadi precedenti, &lt;u&gt;tralasciando solo il settimo grado&lt;/u&gt;. Ci occupiamo innanzitutto delle triadi maggiori e costruiamo le due &lt;b&gt;progressioni circolari&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;DO - FA (progressione I-IV, tonica-sottodominante)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;b&gt;DO - SOL (progressione I-V, tonica-dominante)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Chiamo queste progressioni circolari perché, come vedremo dai seguenti esempi audio, praticamente potremmo alternare &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;all'infinito &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;i due accordi di ogni singola progressione. Senza entrare troppo in dettagli tecnici, la spiegazione di questa circolarità risiede tutta nella teoria dell'armonia: DO è la dominante (V grado) di FA e SOL è la dominante di DO, e la dominante è la nota che, in una sequenza di accordi, più "naturalmente" conduce alla tonica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Ascoltiamo alcuni esempi con piccole melodie per piano:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-f80df7db3abf3ddf" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v9.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Df80df7db3abf3ddf%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1332690828%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D1F028EF404967E1F88190EC37DE1E1A208F9CCAF.AD5181ECD89615413FF1F99FC4AB6AA042F70F9%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Df80df7db3abf3ddf%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DCr8LeazEY6B03xRO_NL0GIplklE&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v9.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Df80df7db3abf3ddf%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1332690828%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D1F028EF404967E1F88190EC37DE1E1A208F9CCAF.AD5181ECD89615413FF1F99FC4AB6AA042F70F9%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Df80df7db3abf3ddf%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DCr8LeazEY6B03xRO_NL0GIplklE&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Anche il mondo della musica easy listening, strumentale, pop, rock ecc. usa queste due progressioni circolari a piene mani.

Abbiamo detto che &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;"&lt;i&gt;piuttosto che tornare sulla tonica (I grado, DO) l'accordo minore spesso suggerisce il passaggio ad un altro accordo&lt;/i&gt;", &lt;b&gt;ecco che allora possiamo scegliere subito dopo l'accordo minore, ad esempio, uno degli accordi maggiori delle prime sequenze circolari (FA o SOL) così da avere un terzo accordo che con più forza ci conduce al I grado e quindi alla fine del giro armonico.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Invece di tornare al DO l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;a sequenza DO - REm &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;potrebbe ad esempio essere seguita dall'accordo di SOL (che tra l'altro è anche il IV grado di RE) e quindi passare dal SOL al DO creando il seguente giro armonico:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;DO - REm - SOL - DO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Stesso discorso potremmo farlo con la sequenza DO - LAm. Invece di tornare al DO potremmo suonare l'accordo di FA e quindi chiudere il giro con il DO. Avremmo quindi la seguente sequenza di accordi:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;b&gt;DO - LAm - FA - DO&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Ovviamente le combinazioni da questo punto di vista sono tantissime ed è impossibile oltre che inutile elencare tutte le sequenze di accordi che possiamo creare partendo dalle triadi maggiori. Invito a questo punto ad esercitarsi creando melodie sulle progressioni precedenti, un buon sistema può essere:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;b&gt;iniziare a suonare tutte le coppie di accordi circolari per acquisire familiarità con essi&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Acquisita familiarità con le progressioni circolari, invece di tornare sempre al DO dopo il secondo accordo, &lt;b&gt;aggiungere 1 o 2 accordi, affinché si creino delle progressioni che partano dalla tonica&lt;/b&gt; (I grado) &lt;b&gt;e arrivino di nuovo alla tonica passando però per più accordi&lt;/b&gt;, come negli esempi appena riportati.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;La seguente tabella sarà di aiuto per trasportare scale e accordi in tutte le tonalità:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OGJ2FmQgo60/T0E8CT4H1mI/AAAAAAAAARA/Vnq4cBN6-rc/s1600/Transposition+Table.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="192" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OGJ2FmQgo60/T0E8CT4H1mI/AAAAAAAAARA/Vnq4cBN6-rc/s400/Transposition+Table.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quindi partendo dalla tabella possiamo ora costruirci ad esempio le triadi (1-3-5) sulla scala di RE:&lt;br /&gt;RE-FA#-LA&lt;br /&gt;MI-SOL-SI&lt;br /&gt;FA#-LA-DO#&lt;br /&gt;SOL-SI-RE&lt;br /&gt;ecc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Teniamo presente un'ultima cosa molto importante: &lt;b&gt;affidarsi a queste progressioni "collaudate" non è il segreto per scrivere musiche di successo&lt;/b&gt;. Queste progressioni servono per prendere dimestichezza con gli accordi e per cercare soluzioni proprie e originali. Sono solo un punto di partenza, un modo per stimolare la fantasia e per tentare nuove armonie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Copyright © Piano Feeling.

Now let's make another step and explore the possibilities we have if we begin to work with two chords. However, what if we do not know precisely where to start? From where and how we choose two chords? &lt;b&gt;The first thing to do is to analyse the scales.&lt;/b&gt; We take here the C major scale, but what we say is true for all major keys. Here is the C major scale which consists of the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5BruamD0pp8/T0AWypMq1kI/AAAAAAAAAQw/Vmc5GTAKS1U/s400/Scala_maggiore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="33" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5BruamD0pp8/T0AWypMq1kI/AAAAAAAAAQw/Vmc5GTAKS1U/s400/Scala_maggiore.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Each sound of the scale is called "degree". We build now on each degree of this scale a triad (three sounds chord) by adding at the starting note (first degree, tonic or ground note) the third and fifth.&lt;/b&gt; Please note that in the seven chords that we build on the seven degrees of the major scale, we just use the seven tones of the scale, we do not add accidentals to hold the original intervals (for example, the third of D will be F instead of F#). In C major we have following triads (over the chord there is its name and under the chord the Roman numerals indicate the degree of the scale):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RnmiBpQ7Ca4/T0AZG6A9xeI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/klPHkt5df7g/s400/triadi+scala+maggiore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="57" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RnmiBpQ7Ca4/T0AZG6A9xeI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/klPHkt5df7g/s400/triadi+scala+maggiore.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The triads thus generated are of 3 types:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;major triads&lt;/i&gt; or perfect major chords - you find them on the I, IV and V degree. (C, F and G)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;minor triads&lt;/i&gt; or perfect minor chords - you find them on the II, III and VI degree (Dm, Em, Am)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;diminished triad&lt;/i&gt; or diminished fifth chord - you find it only the seventh grade (Bdim). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;At this point our initial problem, not knowing where to start, is practically solved. In fact, we make harmonic sequences based on the previous triads, &lt;u&gt;leaving only the seventh degree&lt;/u&gt;. We deal first with the two major triads and build &lt;b&gt;circular progressions&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;C - F (progression I-IV, tonic-subdominant)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;C - G (IV progression, tonic-dominant) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;I call these progressions "circular" because, as we shall see from the following audio samples, we can almost endlessly alternate the two chords of each progression. Without going into technical details, the explanation of this lies entirely in the theory of harmony: C is the dominant (grade V) of F and G is the dominant of C, and the dominant is the note that, in a sequence of chords, most "naturally" leads to the tonic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's listen to some examples with little melodies for piano:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-f80df7db3abf3ddf" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v9.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Df80df7db3abf3ddf%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1332690828%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D71AE5F36B77C99FA473BDE052C44F10D545B1B38.4FA3C0D5BB7D5BEF54F59F0B7A6F8E4BC3A38151%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Df80df7db3abf3ddf%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DCr8LeazEY6B03xRO_NL0GIplklE&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v9.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Df80df7db3abf3ddf%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1332690828%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D71AE5F36B77C99FA473BDE052C44F10D545B1B38.4FA3C0D5BB7D5BEF54F59F0B7A6F8E4BC3A38151%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Df80df7db3abf3ddf%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DCr8LeazEY6B03xRO_NL0GIplklE&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Even easy listening music, instrumental music, pop, rock etc use these two circular progressions. The first examples that come to mind are in fact very famous and successful songs:&lt;br /&gt;Bryan Adams - Summer of '69 (verse: D - A, progression I-V)&lt;br /&gt;John Lennon - Imagine (verse: C - C7+ - F, progression I-IV)&lt;br /&gt;REM - Everybody Hurts (verse and chorus: D - G, progression I-IV)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on to minor triads we can make the following progressions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;C - Dm (progression I - II)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;C - Em (progression I - III)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;C - Am (progression I - VI) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Once again we can create circular progressions, although as shown in the following audio examples the effect is not equal to that of progressions based on major chords, i.e. &lt;b&gt;rather than return to the tonic (first degree, C) this minor chords often suggests to our ears the transition to another chord&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-aa13e50d7229b4e" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v11.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D0aa13e50d7229b4e%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1332690828%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D63EFE96222CF917DD92C153E0F6872CD5970E595.3D578EFA98CCD4E33D122AAB7350FAF0BBEAC410%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Daa13e50d7229b4e%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D2N7_ETpwzyr-3jUNP1bnF0wi6X4&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v11.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D0aa13e50d7229b4e%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1332690828%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D63EFE96222CF917DD92C153E0F6872CD5970E595.3D578EFA98CCD4E33D122AAB7350FAF0BBEAC410%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Daa13e50d7229b4e%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D2N7_ETpwzyr-3jUNP1bnF0wi6X4&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Here comes the last important step. We said that "&lt;i&gt;rather than return to the tonic (first degree, C) this minor chords often suggests to our ears the transition to another chord&lt;/i&gt;". &lt;b&gt;So we can choose just after the minor chord, for example, one of the major chords of the first circular progressions (F or G) to have a third chord that strongly brings us to the first degree of the scale and then at the end of the chord sequence.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of returning to C, the sequence C - Dm could for example be followed by G (which is also the fourth degree of D) and then go from G to C chord creating the following progression:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;C - Dm - G - C&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Same thing we do with the sequence C - Am. Instead of returning to C, we could play F, and then close the sequence with C. We would therefore have the following chord progression:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;C - Am - F - C&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously there are so many combinations that is impossible and useless to list all the chord sequences that we can create starting from major triads. You should now practice creating melodies on all previous progressions. A good method could be:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;start to play all circular progressions&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;After you feel familiar with them, &lt;b&gt;instead of always returning to C after the second chord, add 1 or 2 chord, so that you create progressions that start from the tonic (first degree) and to come back to the tonic, passing over more chords&lt;/b&gt;, as in the examples given above.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The following table will help you to transport scales and chords in all keys:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OGJ2FmQgo60/T0E8CT4H1mI/AAAAAAAAARA/Vnq4cBN6-rc/s400/Transposition+Table.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="192" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OGJ2FmQgo60/T0E8CT4H1mI/AAAAAAAAARA/Vnq4cBN6-rc/s400/Transposition+Table.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;So, starting from the above table we can now build the same triads (1-3-5) on the scale of D:&lt;br /&gt;D - F# - LA&lt;br /&gt;E - G# - B&lt;br /&gt;F# - A - C#&lt;br /&gt;G - B - D&lt;br /&gt;etc..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's remember one last very important thing: &lt;b&gt;to rely on these progressions is not the secret to success&lt;/b&gt;.

Come terze e quinte di queste triadi non metteremo, se così si può dire, gli intervalli &lt;i&gt;propri di quel suono&lt;/i&gt; (inteso come fondamentale di una tonalità): sul secondo grado della scala di &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; maggiore (&lt;i&gt;re&lt;/i&gt;) non metteremo &lt;i&gt;fa#&lt;/i&gt; e &lt;i&gt;la&lt;/i&gt;, ma le note proprie della scala, &lt;i&gt;fa &lt;/i&gt;e &lt;i&gt;la&lt;/i&gt;, per garantirci fin dai primissimi esercizi il senso della tonalità. In altre parole: nei sette accordi che costruiamo sui sette gradi della scala maggiore, noi non usiamo altro che questi sette suoni, cioè quelli &lt;i&gt;della scala&lt;/i&gt;. In &lt;i&gt;do &lt;/i&gt;maggiore le triadi costruite sui gradi della scala sono dunque le seguenti:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0EkePsmfq28/Txvux_WB6wI/AAAAAAAAAPA/_S0qfz6pR2s/s1600/triadi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="45" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0EkePsmfq28/Txvux_WB6wI/AAAAAAAAAPA/_S0qfz6pR2s/s400/triadi.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I singoli suoni della scala, quando sono suoni fondamentali, cioè i suoni più bassi di una triade, si chiamano &lt;span class="st"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;gradi&lt;span class="st"&gt;»: il &lt;i&gt;do &lt;/i&gt;nella triade &lt;i&gt;do-mi-sol&lt;/i&gt; è dunque il primo grado, il &lt;i&gt;re &lt;/i&gt;nella triade &lt;i&gt;re-fa-la&lt;/i&gt; il secondo grado, il &lt;i&gt;mi&lt;/i&gt; nella triade &lt;i&gt;mi-sol-si&lt;/i&gt; terzo grado e così via. Le triadi sono di costituzione diversa. troviamo triadi costituite, dal basso in alto, di una terza maggiore più una terza minore, che vengono a formare una quinta perfetta, e altre in cui questa quinta perfetta viene ad essere formata all'inverso, cioè con la terza minore prima e la terza maggiore poi; e infine troviamo una triade compresa in un intervallo di quinta diminuita, formata da due terze minori sovrapposte. Le triadi del primo tipo - &lt;i&gt;triadi maggiori&lt;/i&gt; o accordi perfetti maggiori - si trovano sul I, IV e V grado, quelle del secondo tipo - &lt;i&gt;triadi minori&lt;/i&gt; o accordi perfetti minori - sul II, III e VI grado - e quella del terzo tipo - &lt;i&gt;triade diminuita&lt;/i&gt; o accordo di quinta diminuita - solo sul VII.

Se la scala è l'analisi, l'accordo è la sintesi del suono. Un accordo deve, per sussistere, essere formato da tre suoni, e il più semplice è ovviamente quello che meglio riproduce gli effetti più semplici e evidenti del suono stesso, cioè la triade maggiore formata dalla fondamentale, terza maggiore e quinta perfetta, accordo che imita l'eufonia del suono in modo da rinforzare i suoni più vicini trascurando quelli più lontani. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A.

La percezione sensibile provoca delle associazioni e mette in relazione suono, orecchio e mondo delle sensazioni: dal concorso di questi tre fattori dipende tutto ciò che si avverte nella musica in quanto arte. Come si osserva tuttavia che un composto chimico ha proprietà diverse dai singoli elementi che lo compongono, e che l'impressione prodotta da un'opera d'arte ha altre proprietà rispetto a quelle dei singoli componenti, analogamente siamo autorizzati, analizzando il fenomeno nel suo insieme, a prendere in considerazione per determinati scopi determinate proprietà dei singoli elementi costitutivi [...]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sarebbe probabilmente assurdo voler derivare da una delle componenti, per esempio dal suono, tutto ciò che costituisce la &lt;span class="st"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;f&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;isica&lt;span class="st"&gt;»&lt;/span&gt; dell'armonia; tuttavia se ne potranno sempre trarre alcune peculiarità, dal momento che l'orecchio, nella sua qualità di organo ricettivo dato, ha comunque una disposizione naturale per il suono [...]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ma uno dei tre fattori elencati sopra, cioè il mondo delle nostre sensazioni, si sottrae talmente ad un preciso controllo che sarebbe probabilmente sconsiderato basarsi sulla poche supposizioni possibili in questo campo all'osservazione con la stessa sicurezza con cui ci si basa su quelle supposizioni che vengono chiamate col nome di &lt;span class="st"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;scienza&lt;span class="st"&gt;». &lt;/span&gt;[...]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ripeto che materiale della musica è il suono; esso va dunque considerato, con tutte le sue caratteristiche e con tutti i suoi effetti, come elemento capace di dar luogo a fenomeni artistici. Tutte le sensazioni che produce sono poi gli effetti manifestati dalle sue caratteristiche, e influiscono in qualche maniera sulla forma, di cui il suono è elemento costitutivo, cioè su tutto il pezzo musicale. Una delle sue caratteristiche più notevoli è la serie degli armonici superiori, dove, dopo alcuni suoni più facilmente avvertibili, compare una serie di suoni più deboli. È certo che di questi suoni armonici i primi sono più familiari e gli ultimi - praticamente impercettibili - più estranei all'orecchio. In altre parole, sembra che quelli più vicini contribuiscano, in maggior misura o con elementi più sensibili, a quello che abbiamo indicato come il fenomeno generale del suono in quanto fenomeno atto ad effetti d'arte, mentre quelli più lontani sembrano contribuirvi in misura minore. &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;[...]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La differenza è dunque tra loro graduale e non sostanziale [...] e le espressioni &lt;span class="st"&gt;«consonanza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;»&lt;/span&gt; e &lt;span class="st"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;dissonanza&lt;span class="st"&gt;»&lt;/span&gt;, che indicano un'antitesi, sono errate: dipende solo dalla crescente capacità dell'orecchio di familiarizzarsi anche con gli armonici più lontani, allargando in tal modo il concetto di &lt;span class="st"&gt;«suono atto a produrre un effetto d'arte&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;» in modo che vi trovi posto tutto il fenomeno naturale nel suo complesso. [...]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;Definisco &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;«consonanze&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;»&lt;/span&gt; i rapporti più vicini e semplici rispetto al suono fondamentale, &lt;span class="st"&gt;«&lt;/span&gt;dissonanze&lt;span class="st"&gt;»&lt;/span&gt; quelli più lontani e più complicati. [...]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La consonanza più perfetta, dopo l'unisono, è il suono che nella serie degli armonici si presenta per primo, quindi spesso anche il più sensibile: l'ottava. Poi viene la quinta, infine la terza maggiore, mentre la terza minore e la sesta maggiore e minore da un lato non sono rapporti del suono fondamentale, dall'altro non si incontrano nella serie ascendente degli armonici [...] Invece la quarta, designata come &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;«consonanza imperfetta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;»&lt;/span&gt;, è un rapporto della fondamentale ma in direzione opposta, e potrebbe per questo essere considerata, come la terza minore, la sesta maggiore e la sesta minore, una consonanza imperfetta oppure una consonanza vera e propria come talvolta avviene. Ma l'evoluzione della musica ha qui seguito un'altra via, dando alla quarta una posizione particolare. Sono considerate dissonanze la seconda maggiore e minore, la settima maggiore e minore, la nona, ecc., poi tutti gli intervalli aumentati e diminuiti (ottava, quarta, quinta, aumentate e diminuite), e così via."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A.

I showed features and limits of a music made without a chord progression or chord changes. To choose a chord an start an improvisation on it should be a good preparatory study. You can even use only the chord scale varying intervals and duration of the notes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Next step is to see how we can make a song or a part of it (for example the verse or the chorus) using only one chord every time repeated with a little change. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We start from D (the same chord of my one chord song of the previous post) and try to make a progression based always on this chord, but in each chord repetition I chance one note:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;D / D9 / D7+ / D&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;These are the chords positions on the keyboard (left hand notes are in blue, click the picture to enlarge).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Questa stessa ragione mi impone di non menzionare quali delle singole idee esposte in questo volume io ritengo nuove. Io sono un musicista e quello che dirò qui non l'ho racimolato in giro, ma posso ritenerlo frutto di pensiero, delle mie esperienze di insegnante e compositore, e in questa veste sono ben autorizzato a dispensarmi dalle indicazioni delle fonti, che sono la norma nei lavori a carattere teorico: è un lavoro lungo e improduttivo e può farlo solo chi ama più la teoria che il lato vivo dell'arte.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Preferisco ammettere che io devo evidentemente molte indicazioni a sistemi già esistenti: quali e quanti non lo so più, perché ho perso ogni possibilità di controllo in questo senso, dato il modo con cui ne ho fatto uso. Ma va detto anche che tutto il meglio di questo volume lo devo per lo più a cattivi libri e a idee sbagliate, che mi hanno costretto a meditare sul giusto; altre cose sono venute fuori da sole elaborando tutto il sistema, mentre l'insieme è l'intuizione artistica, e come tale immediato."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A.

Oggi sul &lt;a href="http://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/notizie/2011-12-22/genio-beethoven-frutto-anche-140746.shtml?uuid=Aa6KeiWE&amp;amp;" target="_blank"&gt;sole24ore&lt;/a&gt; on line ho trovato questo interessante articolo che si riferisce ad una ricerca pubblicata sul &lt;a href="http://www.bmj.com/content/343/bmj.d7589?tab=full" target="_blank"&gt;British Medical Journal&lt;/a&gt; secondo la quale l'avanzare della sordità del Maestro ha influenzato non solo direttamente l'udito e la percezione delle note, ma anche, come conseguenza, le stesse note che Beethoven ha trasformato in musica.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;L'avanzare della malattia è stato documentato dagli scritti stessi e le confessioni di Beethoven mentre la ricerca prende in analisi solo i quartetti d'archi, che sono divisi in tre periodi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Nel primo periodo Beethoven non ha grandi problemi di udito e non vi sono limitazioni nelle note delle sue partiture. Il secondo periodo la sordità da incipiente diventa cronica fino ad essere totale. Le prime note che il Maestro non riesce più correttamente a percepire sono gli alti. L'analisi quantitativa delle note usate negli spartiti mostra come gli alti si siano ridotti drasticamente rispetto al primo periodo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Nel terzo periodo, con Beethoven completamente sordo, non vi sono più limitazioni alla composizione ed è come se questo grande artista non ascolti più solo il suo orecchio fisico ma anche il suo orecchio interiore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per Richard Wagner "le composizioni dell'ultimo Beethoven sono eccezionali non nonostante la sua sordità, ma a causa di essa, la quale lo ha protetto dalle influenze del mondo esterno e costretto a vivere nel suo mondo interiore." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Si tratta di una prospettiva interessante, ma che pone due sfide da superare:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1) l'analisi quantitativa per essere davvero credibile deve essere estesa anche alle altre composizioni, principalmente sonate e sinfonie. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2) non bisogna dimenticare che le composizioni sono anche influenzate dalla biografia di un artista. E se il concentrarsi sui bassi riflettesse solo un periodo cupo di questo straordinario musicista?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="358" id="null" width="500"&gt;

The right hand plays the lead guitar and some chord that follow the voice melody. The left hand plays bass notes and the 2nd guitar arpeggios. It is pretty easy to play until the chorus where left and right hand both play the melody or the strings, so that what starts with one hand ends with the other:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6JGhn3Lp7Qw/Tu3Rh5uRzLI/AAAAAAAAAMk/hATxpMyTbbw/s1600/Still_got.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="130" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6JGhn3Lp7Qw/Tu3Rh5uRzLI/AAAAAAAAAMk/hATxpMyTbbw/s400/Still_got.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The final solo is not 100% like the original, some licks are the same some are improvised with a look-like feeling.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is a big transcription (136 bars, 5 pages), so if you saved time and money to learn this Song with my work, please consider to make a donation (right sidebar menu button).

La sinistra combina basso e arpeggi della seconda chitarra. Si tratta di un brano abbastanza facile da suonare, almeno fino al ritornello. Qui mano destra e mano sinistra si alternano suonando le note della melodia e quelle degli archi. I passaggi iniziano con una mano e finiscono con l'altra:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6JGhn3Lp7Qw/Tu3Rh5uRzLI/AAAAAAAAAMk/hATxpMyTbbw/s1600/Still_got.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="130" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6JGhn3Lp7Qw/Tu3Rh5uRzLI/AAAAAAAAAMk/hATxpMyTbbw/s400/Still_got.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;L'assolo finale non è uguale al 100% con l'originale, che presenta troppi elementi tipici della chitarra. Una parte di quello che suono è come l'originale una parte è improvvisata seguendo lo stile del pezzo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si tratta di una trascrizione molto grande (136 battute, 5 pagine), per questo se hai risparmiato tempo e soldi grazie al mio lavoro una piccola donazione sarebbe davvero lieta (cliccando il pulsante nel  menù in alto a destra).

Not hard to play the only difficulty was to remember the song structure (!) as it is not the usual Intro-Verse-Bridge-Chorus but:&lt;br /&gt;Intro&lt;br /&gt;Bridge (2 times)&lt;br /&gt;1st Verse&lt;br /&gt;2nd Verse&lt;br /&gt;Bridge&lt;br /&gt;Chorus&lt;br /&gt;Bridge (2 times)&lt;br /&gt;3rd Verse&lt;br /&gt;Chorus&lt;br /&gt;Bridge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/interstate-love-song---stone-temple-pilots/12233753" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_AStzsJSJPo/TxHv4Fgy76I/AAAAAAAABRI/akXVmU3COag/s1600/lulu-logo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Download my PDF transcription &lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/interstate-love-song---stone-temple-pilots/12233753" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;from LULU website. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/interstate-love-song---stone-temple-pilots/12233753" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="137" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IoDY0MLk4hE/Tttb2kxjpqI/AAAAAAAAAMU/DLS9blmkviE/s320/Interstate.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for reading.

Ho eseguito il brano integralmente e l'ho completamente trascritto. Non ci sono difficoltà a parte quella di ricordare la struttura di questa canzone che non è la solita sequenza Intro-Strofa-Bridge-Ritornello ma:&lt;br /&gt;Intro&lt;br /&gt;Bridge (2 volte)&lt;br /&gt;Strofa 1&lt;br /&gt;Strofa 2&lt;br /&gt;Bridge&lt;br /&gt;Ritornello&lt;br /&gt;Bridge (2 volte)&lt;br /&gt;Strofa 3&lt;br /&gt;Ritornello&lt;br /&gt;Bridge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/interstate-love-song---stone-temple-pilots/12233753" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_AStzsJSJPo/TxHv4Fgy76I/AAAAAAAABRI/akXVmU3COag/s1600/lulu-logo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Scarica la mia trascrizione in PDF &lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/interstate-love-song---stone-temple-pilots/12233753" target="_blank"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dal sito LULU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/interstate-love-song---stone-temple-pilots/12233753" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="137" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IoDY0MLk4hE/Tttb2kxjpqI/AAAAAAAAAMU/DLS9blmkviE/s320/Interstate.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grazie per la lettura.

To play this cover I used the original sheet music, I was very lucky to find an hard cover copy! Try to learn this song watching my hands and listening to my video. Moreover you find below some short transcriptions of changes that I made to the original score to make it more similar to the recorded song.&lt;br /&gt;First the verse (the intro is 100% the same first without bass, then with bass notes):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iwz45Q1oJc0/TsmD4zZBCWI/AAAAAAAAAMM/lVi9bwyMuu0/s1600/Isolation1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="261" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iwz45Q1oJc0/TsmD4zZBCWI/AAAAAAAAAMM/lVi9bwyMuu0/s400/Isolation1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The red ring shows you a bass change you should do &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;only&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in the middle of the verse. Please note that the first verse is played one octave lower.&lt;br /&gt;The final part of the second verse has also a change, here it is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VBP5sPsZQGE/TsmD4RGEOnI/AAAAAAAAAME/-7UIhBNXTLs/s1600/Isolation2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="108" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VBP5sPsZQGE/TsmD4RGEOnI/AAAAAAAAAME/-7UIhBNXTLs/s400/Isolation2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Same tempo but different chord positions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rest of the song is played like the original scores. Here some chords (the lines mean end of the bar, the brackets the chord durations).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bridge:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;F (4/4) &lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C/G (1/4+1/8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Gsus4 (1/8+2/4) &lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;F/A (4/4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;no chords (bass notes at minute 1'05' of the video)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;F (4/4)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C/G (2/4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;E/G# (2/4)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Am (4/4)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G/B (1/4)&lt;br /&gt;A/C# (1/4+1/8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;D (1/4+1/8)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chorus&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Em (4/4)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dsus4/F# (1/4 - anticipated on the last 1/8 of the previous bar) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;D/F# (3/4)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C (1/4 - anticipated on the last 1/8 of the previous bar) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;D/C (3/4)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dsus4/B (1/4 anticipated on the last 1/8 of the previous bar) &lt;br /&gt;D/B (1/4)&lt;br /&gt;Dsus2/F# (1/4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Csus2 (1/4+1/8)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for reading.

Il video è diviso in due parti, la prima è l'esecuzione al pianoforte su una base musicale senza voce. Per eseguire questo brano ho usato lo spartito originale, difficilissimo da reperire ne ho trovato una copia cartacea in un negozio. Per imparare questa canzone consiglio di guardare e ascoltare il video e di seguire la breve trascrizione in basso. Nella trascrizione evidenzio i cambiamenti che ho fatto allo spartito originale.&lt;br /&gt;Strofa (l'intro è uguale al 100% e viene suonato prima senza note di basso e poi con le note):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iwz45Q1oJc0/TsmD4zZBCWI/AAAAAAAAAMM/lVi9bwyMuu0/s1600/Isolation1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="261" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iwz45Q1oJc0/TsmD4zZBCWI/AAAAAAAAAMM/lVi9bwyMuu0/s400/Isolation1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;La parte evidenziata con il cerchio rosso va suonata &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;solo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; al centro della strofa. Attenzione: la prima strofa va suonata un'ottava sotto. La parte finale della seconda strofa presenta un'altra variazione:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VBP5sPsZQGE/TsmD4RGEOnI/AAAAAAAAAME/-7UIhBNXTLs/s1600/Isolation2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="108" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VBP5sPsZQGE/TsmD4RGEOnI/AAAAAAAAAME/-7UIhBNXTLs/s400/Isolation2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Gli accordi seguono lo stesso tempo ma le posizioni sono differenti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ho suonato il resto della canzone secondo lo spartito originale. Di seguito gli accordi (la linea indica la fine della battuta e in parentesi indico la durata di ogni accordo).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bridge:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;F (4/4) &lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C/G (1/4+1/8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Gsus4 (1/8+2/4) &lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;F/A (4/4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;nessun accordo (qui si suonano solo note di basso come al minuto 1'05' del video)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;F (4/4)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C/G (2/4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;E/G# (2/4)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Am (4/4)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G/B (1/4)&lt;br /&gt;A/C# (1/4+1/8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;D (1/4+1/8)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ritornello&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Em (4/4)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dsus4/F# (1/4 - anticipato sull'ultimo 1/8 della battuta precedente) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;D/F# (3/4)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C (1/4 - anticipato sull'ultimo 1/8 della battuta precedente)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;D/C (3/4)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dsus4/B (1/4 - anticipato sull'ultimo 1/8 della battuta precedente)&lt;br /&gt;D/B (1/4)&lt;br /&gt;Dsus2/F# (1/4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Csus2 (1/4+1/8)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grazie per la lettura.

Questa cover si basa sullo spartito originale ma ci sono alcuni cambiamenti. Come si vede qui di seguito ho aggiunto anche la seconda chitarra, sunata prima con la mano destra e poi con la sinistra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TLsHDLr3Wg4/TsliQLEAQ6I/AAAAAAAAAL0/1uumYXX5JqU/s1600/Going+Under1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="250" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TLsHDLr3Wg4/TsliQLEAQ6I/AAAAAAAAAL0/1uumYXX5JqU/s400/Going+Under1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Il ritornello è riarrangiato completamente aggiungendo un riff originale al basso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vACIkGgAJiE/TsliTQc2SrI/AAAAAAAAAL8/SxtpUOpANBQ/s1600/Going+Under2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="296" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vACIkGgAJiE/TsliTQc2SrI/AAAAAAAAAL8/SxtpUOpANBQ/s400/Going+Under2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Grazie per la lettura.

This video is made of 2 parts. In the first part I play with a backing track (without guitar), in the second part I play a playback on a backing track &lt;u&gt;with&lt;/u&gt; guitar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recorded my playing using the original track but the video was removed because of copyright infringement. Now that I use backing tracks there are some light differences in speed and the piano is sometimes not perfectly synchronized with the rest of the music. Hope you enjoy it anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you saved time and money to learn this solo with my work, please consider to make a donation (right sidebar menu button).

Il video è diviso in due parti, la prima è l'esecuzione dell'assolo su una base senza chitarra. La seconda è il playback dell'assolo su una base con la chitarra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Originariamente avevo registrato il video usando come traccia guida la canzone originale. Il video è stato purtroppo bloccato per violazione di copyright. Purtroppo le basi con o senza chitarra non sono della stessa velocità dell'originale e quindi ci sono alcuni momenti in cui l'audio non è perfettamente sincronizzato con il video. Mi spiace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se hai risparmiato tempo e soldi imparando questa canzone grazie al mio lavoro, una piccola donazione sarebbe davvero lieta (cliccando il pulsante in alto nel  menù a destra). Oltre a dimostrare apprezzamento mi aiuterebbe ad andare avanti e fare altri lavori musicali. In cambio invierò la trascrizione di questo brano o gli spartiti delle mie musiche originali.

This song has been a challenge for me. There are so many sounds that an "All Piano" version can't be so good as the original. Moreover, the use of the sustain pedal needs a lot of practice and I was a little lazy these days... :-)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The bass notes seldom need sustain or legato, while the chord in the right hand do. So I had to made very often a legato with fingers without using the pedal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;To play this song I used the original sheet music (you find it &lt;a href="http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/012712/details.html?kbid=4527" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; or in the link below).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is the Intro as I play it, the lines connect the guitar parts (sometimes played with the left hand sometimes with the right hand). This is a trick I used in order to play also the keyboard chords you can hear in the background:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VpM0SKjKv6A/Tn39Gsr7ZjI/AAAAAAAAALw/i-VUI2_Yhn8/s1600/Intro.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="207" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VpM0SKjKv6A/Tn39Gsr7ZjI/AAAAAAAAALw/i-VUI2_Yhn8/s400/Intro.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I have completely transcribed the guitar solo. In this part I try to play so many instruments/voices as possible. The left hand makes accompaniment, bass notes and some keyboard chords, together with the right hand that also plays the solo. Here you see how some keyboard chords are played from both hands, first the left then the right:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UsmOUmX6uXY/Tn33-hz7D1I/AAAAAAAAALs/Dc7mOpbb0ek/s1600/Ride.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="194" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UsmOUmX6uXY/Tn33-hz7D1I/AAAAAAAAALs/Dc7mOpbb0ek/s320/Ride.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/ride-across-the-river---dire-straits/11245438" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_AStzsJSJPo/TxHv4Fgy76I/AAAAAAAABRI/akXVmU3COag/s1600/lulu-logo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/ride-across-the-river---dire-straits/11245438" target="_blank"&gt;Download&lt;/a&gt; my PDF Transcription of the guitar solo&lt;br /&gt;from LULU website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;&lt;td align="center" width="80"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Dire-Straits-Brothers-in-Arms/2899113?aff_id=446433&amp;amp;aff_link=plg1"&gt;&lt;img alt="Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms" height="80" src="http://assets.sheetmusicplus.com/product/060X080/2899113.gif" width="60" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/look_inside/2899113/image/140800?aff_id=446433&amp;amp;aff_link=plg1"&gt;&lt;img alt="Look Inside" class="look-inside" src="http://assets.sheetmusicplus.com/images/buttons/look_inside_2.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Dire-Straits-Brothers-in-Arms/2899113?aff_id=446433&amp;amp;aff_link=plg1"&gt;Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; By Dire Straits.

Ho scelto "Ride Across the River" ed è stata una vera e propria sfida. Innanzitutto, ci sono così tanti suoni che è difficile renderli in una versione solo piano. In secondo luogo, l'uso del pedale è abbastanza complesso, visto che la sinistra non lo richiede quasi mai, mentre gli accordi della destra si. Così ho dovuto spesso aumentare la sonorità legando solo con le dita. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ho eseguito questa cover basandomi sullo spartito originale (si trova &lt;a href="http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/012712/details.html?kbid=4527" target="_blank"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt; o nel link in basso), ma ho modificato l'intro. La linea che si vede congiunge le note di chitarra che passano da una mano all'altra, dandomi la possibilità di suonare anche gli accordi che si sentono in sottofondo:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VpM0SKjKv6A/Tn39Gsr7ZjI/AAAAAAAAALw/i-VUI2_Yhn8/s1600/Intro.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="207" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VpM0SKjKv6A/Tn39Gsr7ZjI/AAAAAAAAALw/i-VUI2_Yhn8/s400/Intro.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ho trascritto completamente l'assolo di chitarra durante il quale tento di suonare più strumenti/voci possibili. La sinistra esegue accompagnamento, basso e alcuni accordi di tastiera, mentre la destra esegue i rimanenti accordi più le note della chitarra. Queste 2 battute mostrano come durante l'assolo alcuni accordi li suoni la sinistra e altri la destra.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UsmOUmX6uXY/Tn33-hz7D1I/AAAAAAAAALs/Dc7mOpbb0ek/s1600/Ride.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="194" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UsmOUmX6uXY/Tn33-hz7D1I/AAAAAAAAALs/Dc7mOpbb0ek/s320/Ride.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/ride-across-the-river---dire-straits/11245438" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_AStzsJSJPo/TxHv4Fgy76I/AAAAAAAABRI/akXVmU3COag/s1600/lulu-logo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/ride-across-the-river---dire-straits/11245438" target="_blank"&gt;Scarica&lt;/a&gt; la mia trascrizione in PDF dell'assolo di chitarra &lt;br /&gt;dal sito LULU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;&lt;td align="center" width="80"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Dire-Straits-Brothers-in-Arms/2899113?aff_id=446433&amp;amp;aff_link=plg1"&gt;&lt;img alt="Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms" height="80" src="http://assets.sheetmusicplus.com/product/060X080/2899113.gif" width="60" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/look_inside/2899113/image/140800?aff_id=446433&amp;amp;aff_link=plg1"&gt;&lt;img alt="Look Inside" class="look-inside" src="http://assets.sheetmusicplus.com/images/buttons/look_inside_2.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Dire-Straits-Brothers-in-Arms/2899113?aff_id=446433&amp;amp;aff_link=plg1"&gt;Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; By Dire Straits.

Ovvero: &lt;b&gt;vogliamo comporre musica, quali sono le basi da cui partire?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In questo post e in alcuni successivi ci occuperemo quindi di &lt;b&gt;progressioni armoniche e di sequenze di accordi&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Quando pensiamo alla composizione dell'armonia di un brano musicale, pensiamo alle sequenze di accordi che lo contraddistinguono. Che sia un brano strumentale, di accompagnamento, un pezzo rock o una colonna sonora, &lt;b&gt;noi possiamo sempre scomporre lo spartito in diversi pezzi&lt;/b&gt; (ad esempio intro, strofa, ritornello, bridge, variazione ecc.) &lt;b&gt;e ognuno di questi è caratterizzato da una sequenza di accordi che si alternano e/o si ripetono&lt;/b&gt;. In genere si tratta di sequenze leggermente diverse tra le varie parti, così l'ascoltatore è in grado di riconoscerle senza difficoltà. In questo modo ad esempio siamo tutti in grado di riconoscere il ritornello di un brano di musica leggera anche se lo ascoltiamo solo per la prima volta. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;L'esempio seguente mostrerà invece l'esecuzione di un breve brano per pianoforte, basato solo su un accordo. Questa piccola composizione ci serve per sottolineare due cose. La prima è che nonostante quello che abbiamo detto finora, &lt;b&gt;anche mancando una sequenza ordinata di accordi siamo in grado di scomporre un pezzo in varie parti e di riconoscerle senza alcuno sforzo&lt;/b&gt;. Ascoltando questa piccola composizione si è facilmente in grado di riconoscere due parti, come se fossero strofa e ritornello. Eppure non c'è nessun cambio di accordo. Alla fine troverete anche una sorta di outro o coda. Anche in questo caso l'accordo resta sempre lo stesso.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In secondo luogo, sarà altresì chiaro che una composizione di questo tipo ha dei&lt;b&gt; limiti evidenti: ci costringe ad usare determinate note soltanto, circoscrive la possibilità di combinare suoni e accordi&lt;/b&gt;. Ciò lascia nell'ascoltatore una sensazione di incompletezza, una sorta di incompiuto o di vuoto musicale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ecco come è possibile realizzare una musica con un solo accordo&lt;/b&gt;, in questo caso RE maggiore. Ascoltando verificherete quello che ho detto finora (&lt;b&gt;possibilità di riconoscere comunque le parti del brano, ma anche eccessiva ripetitività e sterilità dello stesso&lt;/b&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Nel prossimo post mi occuperò delle progressioni armoniche semplici, quelle che prevedono l'alternanza di soli due accordi. Scopriremo come moltissimi brani di successo non sono basati altro che su questo. Per il momento per chi volesse esercitarsi a comporre un piccolo pezzo consiglio di provare a improvvisare una melodia basandosi su un solo accordo, senza mai cambiarlo. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-c6a5e87809ec60b1" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v20.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dc6a5e87809ec60b1%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1332690829%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D67415A2ECF2E8776C8555627926FDC3C1ACE1DEE.662A247D780015F18BFBFF7E80B3524D775A58E3%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dc6a5e87809ec60b1%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D_8mWeBCpePjnu_Qalg29EnNxV7o&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v20.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dc6a5e87809ec60b1%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1332690829%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D67415A2ECF2E8776C8555627926FDC3C1ACE1DEE.662A247D780015F18BFBFF7E80B3524D775A58E3%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dc6a5e87809ec60b1%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D_8mWeBCpePjnu_Qalg29EnNxV7o&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Di seguito anche la trascrizione di questo piccolo pezzo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Du_7_7eD7cQ/TnTWphl2_-I/AAAAAAAAALo/LJUAeeMCc3o/s1600/One+Chord+Song.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Du_7_7eD7cQ/TnTWphl2_-I/AAAAAAAAALo/LJUAeeMCc3o/s400/One+Chord+Song.jpg" width="327" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Copyright     © Piano Feeling.

It does not matter if we have an instrumental track, a rock song or a soundtrack: &lt;b&gt;each music can be split it into several parts&lt;/b&gt; (e.g. intro, verse, chorus, bridge, etc.). &lt;b&gt;Each part usually has its own sequence of chords and each sequence is slightly different from the others&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;b&gt; so that the listener can easily recognize the parts.&lt;/b&gt; Thus, for example, we are all able to recognize the refrain of a pop music song even if hear it for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following example will show a short piece for piano, based only on one chord. I use this small composition to emphasize two things. The first one is that, despite what we have said so far, &lt;b&gt;even in the absence of an ordered sequence of chords we are able to separate the piece into several parts and to recognize them without any effort&lt;/b&gt;. Listening to this small composition you should be able to recognize two parts, as if they were verse and chorus. Yet there is no chord change. At the end you will also find a sort of coda or outro, but the chord still remains the same.&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, by listening this song, will also be clear that a one chord composition has &lt;b&gt;obvious limitations: it forces us to use only certain notes and limits the possibility of combining sounds and arrangements&lt;/b&gt;. This gives the listener a strange feeling, &lt;b&gt;something like incompleteness, a kind of musical emptiness. The music sounds unfinished. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's how you can make music with one accord, in this case D major. Listening to the song you will verify what I have said so far (it is still possible to recognize the parts of the song, but there is a feeling of unfinished and too much repetition).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the next post I will talk about simple harmonic progressions, those that alternate only two chords. We will discover that a large number of music hits are just based on simple chord progressions. For the moment, I invite those who want to start the composition of a song to try to improvise a melody based on a single chord.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-c6a5e87809ec60b1" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v20.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dc6a5e87809ec60b1%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1332690829%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D17990F9C1980E8C6711087FA6D8AA58E77915546.60505CE3AF438A159B66828F2746F20C34855B18%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dc6a5e87809ec60b1%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D_8mWeBCpePjnu_Qalg29EnNxV7o&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v20.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dc6a5e87809ec60b1%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1332690829%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D17990F9C1980E8C6711087FA6D8AA58E77915546.60505CE3AF438A159B66828F2746F20C34855B18%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dc6a5e87809ec60b1%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D_8mWeBCpePjnu_Qalg29EnNxV7o&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here the scores of this song:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Du_7_7eD7cQ/TnTWphl2_-I/AAAAAAAAALo/LJUAeeMCc3o/s1600/One+Chord+Song.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Du_7_7eD7cQ/TnTWphl2_-I/AAAAAAAAALo/LJUAeeMCc3o/s400/One+Chord+Song.jpg" width="327" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Copyright    © Piano Feeling.

I can still remember my father singing this song when I was young, so when I listened it after so many years I decided to make a cover, just to remember that moments.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;To play the song I used the official sheet music. What I completely changed is the solo part, the interlude played by winds. My left hand makes a big work, playing chords and bass notes simultaneously.&amp;nbsp; During the verses the left hand plays root notes (Bb and/or Eb) each eights and the right hand plays the chords/melody. During the solo I alternate chords and bass with the left hand and I play the winds with the right hand.

Ricordo ancora quando mio padre cantava questa canzone quando io ero bambino così ora che l'ho riascoltata dopo tanti anni, ho deciso di registrarla per rivivere quei momenti. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per imparare questo brano ho usato lo spartito ufficiale. Quello che ho cambiato è la parte dell'assolo di fiati, l'interludio al centro del brano. La mia mano sinistra fa qui un lavoro impegnativo perché suona accordi e basso simultaneamente. Durante le strofe la mano sinistra suona le note fondamentali degli accordi (Sib e Mib) su ogni croma della battuta, mentre la destra suona gli accordi/melodia. Durante l'assolo io invece alterno con la sinistra gli accordi prima suonati con la destra e le note del basso, mentre la destra suona la parte dei fiati. Questa è la trascrizione di quello che suono:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TaMJr1IYkvY/TmUrcKjp2tI/AAAAAAAAALk/R6hmZQv4eF8/s1600/say.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="386" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TaMJr1IYkvY/TmUrcKjp2tI/AAAAAAAAALk/R6hmZQv4eF8/s400/say.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Se grazie a questo piccolo aiuto avete risparmiato tempo e denaro per  imparare questo brano sarebbe  bello se pensaste a fare una piccola  donazione (menu in alto a destra)  riceverete in cambio un'altra mia trascrizione oppure una mia composizione originale a scelta.

I played and transcribed the complete Song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a very easy and relaxing song except for the interlude in the middle where different instruments play together and I have to use my 2 hands in a pretty complicated way. Starting from minute 2'07'' left and right hand jump over the octaves and the right hand plays two times notes going over the left hand (bars 28-38). In this case my transcription says &lt;i&gt;m.s.&lt;/i&gt; (if you have to play the notes with the left hand) and &lt;i&gt;m.d.&lt;/i&gt; (if you have to play the notes with the right hand). The picture below tries to make things easier. Where it could be confusing the &lt;span style="color: lime;"&gt;left hands notes&lt;/span&gt; are painted in green and the &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;right hand notes&lt;/span&gt; are painted in red. Remaining notes are played as usual:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HmrbXo3KQK4/Tixc68qCLfI/AAAAAAAAALY/dTkFt1rzQcQ/s1600/Straight+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="346" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HmrbXo3KQK4/Tixc68qCLfI/AAAAAAAAALY/dTkFt1rzQcQ/s400/Straight+1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;If you find this transcription too complicated this is an easy version of the above interlude:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-54hUUU9wWrw/Tixd10hL5wI/AAAAAAAAALc/mXo_bQktYrk/s1600/Straight+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-54hUUU9wWrw/Tixd10hL5wI/AAAAAAAAALc/mXo_bQktYrk/s400/Straight+2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;If you want a very simple solution you can use this one:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fms-wrMjV4A/TixeMjpXMgI/AAAAAAAAALg/yHhtvKq7sFM/s1600/Straight+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="310" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fms-wrMjV4A/TixeMjpXMgI/AAAAAAAAALg/yHhtvKq7sFM/s400/Straight+3.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;If my work helped you to save time and  money learning this Song I would really  appreciate if you would think about making a small donation (right  sidebar menu button), in exchange I will send you this transcription in  PDF or the scores of my original compositions.

Ho suonato e trascritto l'intera canzone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si tratta di un brano abbastanza facile da suonare tranne per l'interludio dopo il secondo ritornello (inizia al minuto 2'07''). A questo punto infatti le mani si spostano su ottave lontane e 2 volte la destra suona passando sopra la sinistra.&lt;br /&gt;Nella trascrizione sono indicati &lt;i&gt;m.s.&lt;/i&gt; e &lt;i&gt;m.d. &lt;/i&gt;rispettivamente dove bisogna usare la sinistra e la destra quando ciò potrebbe causare una certa confusione. La seguente immagine cerca di semplificare le cose. Nei punti più complessi ho indicato in verde le note suonate dalla &lt;span style="color: lime;"&gt;mano sinistra&lt;/span&gt; e in rosso quelle suonate dalla &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;mano destra&lt;/span&gt;. Tutte le altre note si suonano normalmente seguendo la partitura:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HmrbXo3KQK4/Tixc68qCLfI/AAAAAAAAALY/dTkFt1rzQcQ/s1600/Straight+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="346" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HmrbXo3KQK4/Tixc68qCLfI/AAAAAAAAALY/dTkFt1rzQcQ/s400/Straight+1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Qualora questa trascrizione fosse troppo complessa, ecco di seguito una versione intermedia:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fms-wrMjV4A/TixeMjpXMgI/AAAAAAAAALg/yHhtvKq7sFM/s1600/Straight+3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="310" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fms-wrMjV4A/TixeMjpXMgI/AAAAAAAAALg/yHhtvKq7sFM/s400/Straight+3.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Di seguito infine una versione molto semplice di questo interludio:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fms-wrMjV4A/TixeMjpXMgI/AAAAAAAAALg/yHhtvKq7sFM/s1600/Straight+3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="310" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fms-wrMjV4A/TixeMjpXMgI/AAAAAAAAALg/yHhtvKq7sFM/s400/Straight+3.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se grazie a questo piccolo aiuto avete risparmiato tempo e denaro per imparare questo brano sarebbe  bello se pensaste a fare una piccola donazione (menu in alto a destra)  riceverete in cambio questa trascrizione in pdf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/straight-from-the-heart---bryan-adams/10992004" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_AStzsJSJPo/TxHv4Fgy76I/AAAAAAAABRI/akXVmU3COag/s1600/lulu-logo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Altrimenti potete &lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/straight-from-the-heart---bryan-adams/10992004" target="_blank"&gt;scaricare&lt;/a&gt; la trascrizione direttamente dal&lt;br /&gt;sito LULU o cercare altri &lt;a href="http://www.musicroom.com/Search/Find.aspx?searchtext=bryan+adams?kbid=4527" target="_blank"&gt;spartiti&lt;/a&gt; di Bryan Adams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;&lt;td align="center" width="80"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Anthology/4192505?aff_id=446433&amp;amp;aff_link=plg1"&gt;&lt;img alt="Anthology" height="80" src="http://assets.sheetmusicplus.com/product/060X080/4192505.gif" width="60" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/look_inside/4192505/image/201461?aff_id=446433&amp;amp;aff_link=plg1"&gt;&lt;img alt="Look Inside" class="look-inside" src="http://assets.sheetmusicplus.com/images/buttons/look_inside_2.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Anthology/4192505?aff_id=446433&amp;amp;aff_link=plg1"&gt;Anthology&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (P/V/G).

Questo più o meno si sapeva già da tempo, solo che fa notizia il fatto che l'acquirente, una società finora ignota ai più, sborserà 35 milioni di dollari, ovvero una ridicolaggine rispetto ai 580 milioni che la News Corp. di Murdoch ha pagato nel 2005 per il sito e ben al di sotto dei 100 milioni di dollari che aveva chiesto all'inizio per la vendita.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tutti dicono: colpa di Facebook se Myspace è in crisi. Gli utenti si riversano sul primo, che diventa una macchina da soldi, e il secondo perde appeal. Restano però pur sempre 35 milioni di utenti di Myspace che non sono affatto pochi e che a qualcosa pur serviranno.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Onestamente non sono mai stato un amante di Myspace, perché a mio avviso è sempre stato un finto sito per musicisti.&lt;/b&gt; Un sito che ha fatto poco per migliorarsi fino a perdersi, a rinunciare alla sua identità, alla sua vocazione.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Certo c'è un bel music player è vero. Ma poi?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Al giorno d'oggi un musicista deve farsi un canale su youtube per pubblicare video, uno su Myspace per pubblicare audio, uno su facebook per farsi pubblicità e trovare consensi, uno su un qualsiasi sito di publishing per vendere spartiti o le proprie composizioni.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ecco, &lt;b&gt;nessuno su Myspace ha pensato che un sito che integri e interagisca al 100% con gli altri di cui sopra sia quello che manca e che cercano i musicisti? Un sito dove inglobare i propri video, anche se caricati su youtube. Un sito dove far ascoltare la propria musica, dove poter pubblicare e vendere spartiti o mp3 ecc&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Se si riuscissero a coinvolgere anche case discografiche grandi e piccole il lavoro sarebbe completo. Si potrebbe eleggere l'artista del mese, la canzone del mese, dell'anno ecc. Qualsiasi cosa per dare visibilità e qualche soddisfazione agli utenti sarebbe indirettamente anche un modo per attirare l'attenzione del mondo esterno. Questa si traduce a sua volta in click, pubblicità, soldi ecc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A mio avviso questo è il problema. &lt;b&gt;Myspace non è stata mai una vera vetrina a 360 gradi per un musicista, il quale si è sempre dovuto servire anche di altri canali per promuoversi, fino in via estrema ad usare così tanto i siti alternativi da abbandonare Myspace stesso. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3918782782518623192-5886473634741477728?l=pianofeeling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pianofeeling.blogspot.com/feeds/5886473634741477728/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pianofeeling.blogspot.com/2011/07/il-declino-di-myspace-e-lattesa-di-un.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3918782782518623192/posts/default/5886473634741477728'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3918782782518623192/posts/default/5886473634741477728'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pianofeeling.blogspot.com/2011/07/il-declino-di-myspace-e-lattesa-di-un.html' title='Il declino di Myspace e l&apos;attesa di un vero sito per musicisti'/><author><name>Satin Beaus</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YsxrqAi1W8Y/Sj_1rCFgYFI/AAAAAAAAAAM/55uTnYTVxhA/s1600-R/Avatar2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iIvPa2DgiVU/ThTNwlx_c6I/AAAAAAAAALU/Ag-BpmEU-_c/s72-c/myspace_logo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918782782518623192.post-7538461319275643738</id><published>2011-07-06T22:00:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2012-01-15T03:13:43.927+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music all around'/><title type='text'>The fall of Myspace, waiting for a real site for musicians</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iIvPa2DgiVU/ThTNwlx_c6I/AAAAAAAAALU/Ag-BpmEU-_c/s1600/myspace_logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="165" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iIvPa2DgiVU/ThTNwlx_c6I/AAAAAAAAALU/Ag-BpmEU-_c/s200/myspace_logo.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;News Corp. is selling Myspace. Everybody heard this.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But the very news is that an unknown company is going to pay "only" 35 million dollars to buy the site. Only a couple of nuts if compared with 580 million paid from News Corp. in 2005.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Everybody says: Myspace is falling? The reason is the success of Facebook.&lt;/b&gt; The second one grows and makes money, while Myspace is losing appeal. All right, but what can we do with 35 million users of Myspace? I repeat: 35 million users...I can't believe nobody thought that this is a huge amount of members.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Honestly I have never been a Myspace fan. Well, there is a very nice music player, and...hm and then? Since years not much innovation, always the same things.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Nowadays a musician needs a youtube account to upload its videos, a Myspace account to upload audio files, a facebook account to get fans, a publisher account to sell scores and mp3 and so on...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Well, nobody in Myspace thought that a place where to join and embed all this things is exactly what musicians need. &lt;b&gt;Embed videos, play audio files, sell scores etc. Everything in just one site.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If they could also convince talent scouts, majors, publishers, etc to look regularly at the sites and choose the Myspace song of the month, the artist of the year or something similar, they will reach the goal. They would give visibility to musicians and to the site. They would capture users, views, clicks, advertiser, money etc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is the problem. &lt;b&gt;Myspace  has never been a real site for musicians. A musician needs to many other sites to promote himself.

If to complicated to play you can remove it.

Ho eseguito questa cover seguendo lo spartito originale, al quale ho apportato alcune modifiche. Innanzitutto ho aggiunto alla mano destra alcune note quasi improvvisate di accompagnamento al canto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In secondo luogo ho riscritto l'introduzione perché lo spartito originale non è molto fedele:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oZJVB9D9B8U/TegCUdA2gsI/AAAAAAAAALA/EdjHpatA18w/s1600/sara1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="281" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oZJVB9D9B8U/TegCUdA2gsI/AAAAAAAAALA/EdjHpatA18w/s400/sara1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Infine ho trascritto l'interludio di orchestra che nella mia cover inizia al minuto 2'13'' e che manca nello spartito originale:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8oBlIOSU9FQ/TegC_QkBPHI/AAAAAAAAALE/RniywmcJ9X0/s1600/sara2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="100" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8oBlIOSU9FQ/TegC_QkBPHI/AAAAAAAAALE/RniywmcJ9X0/s400/sara2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se la mia musica è stata di Vostro gradimento o se almeno avete   apprezzato il mio lavoro, potete fare una piccola donazione (cliccando   il pulsante nel menù a destra) e se lo desiderate&amp;nbsp; riceverete in cambio gli spartiti delle mie musiche originali in formato   PDF.

Ho trascritto il brano integralmente.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Due cose vorrei sottolineare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1) "&lt;i&gt;There are only so many ambulances...&lt;/i&gt;"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Di seguito alcune battute come le suono io quando inizia questa parte (la prima volta le suono un'ottava in basso). Le note segnate in rosso vanno tenute per tutta la battuta. Quelle inserite per la mano destra si dovrebbero  sentire in sottofondo, nel brano originale sono suonate dalla chitarra elettrica.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Le note in rosso della mano sinistra hanno solo una funzione armonica in quanto sono le note fondamentali degli accordi. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aPtle-p_B0E/Tee2Fls0anI/AAAAAAAAAK8/Nw8iVCIHJ8I/s1600/ambulances1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aPtle-p_B0E/Tee2Fls0anI/AAAAAAAAAK8/Nw8iVCIHJ8I/s1600/ambulances1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2) "&lt;i&gt;Not trying to kill you...&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Questa parte va suonata usando molto il pedale. Le note in rosso vanno suonate "forte" e "staccato", e con l'aiuto del pedale vanno tenute per tutta la battuta, mentre le rimanenti note vanno suonate in sottofondo. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ybTCTMysMXI/TeexyjE3CvI/AAAAAAAAAK4/NuqHL9ZzrdA/s320/ambulances2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ybTCTMysMXI/TeexyjE3CvI/AAAAAAAAAK4/NuqHL9ZzrdA/s1600/ambulances2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Se la mia musica è stata di Vostro gradimento o se almeno avete   apprezzato il mio lavoro, potete fare una piccola donazione (cliccando   il pulsante nel menù a destra) e riceverete in cambio questa   trascrizione oppure gli spartiti delle mie musiche originali in formato   PDF.

Per l'esecuzione di questo brano ho usato lo spartito originale che si trova &lt;a href="http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/0558219/details.html?kbid=4527" target="_blank"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt;. Ho modificato però l'Intro rispetto alla partitura originale in quanto non mi sembrava molto simile alla versione che suona Stevie Wonder. Per il resto della canzone ho scritto solo gli accordi con le note e le posizioni che io stesso suono.&lt;i&gt; Per eseguirli come ho fatto io basta premere l'accordo indicato e poi  risuonare tutte le note dalla più bassa alla più alta (fare un arpeggio) fino ad arrivare all'accordo successivo.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Questa è la stessa tecnica con cui ho suonato &lt;a href="http://pianofeeling.blogspot.com/2009/07/whereabouts-stevie-wonder-piano-cover.html"&gt;Whereabouts&lt;/a&gt; sempre di Stevie Wonder.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xDrtnsxptt4/Tedk3gOAloI/AAAAAAAAAKw/pPDRWqM7EHQ/s1600/lately.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xDrtnsxptt4/Tedk3gOAloI/AAAAAAAAAKw/pPDRWqM7EHQ/s1600/lately.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Se la mia musica è stata di Vostro gradimento o se almeno avete  apprezzato il mio lavoro, potete fare una piccola donazione (cliccando  il pulsante nel menù a destra) e riceverete in cambio questa  trascrizione oppure gli spartiti delle mie musiche originali in formato  PDF.

It belongs to my collection of   Original Easy Listening Piano Pieces "Landscapes Vol.3". The idea behind these Pieces is to make    relaxing  music that everybody can play. You find my original scores  &lt;a href="http://stores.lulu.com/gaetanoscalfidi" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Thanks for your support.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;During the whole song I played the same chord progression in loop, even the melody is repeated but every time in a different way. If you put attention on this song, you should hear the main them always in the background (with some variations). Here an example, the upper stuffs are the melody that starts at minute 1'25'' and the lower stuffs are played at minute 1'50''. As you can see some notes of the melody are put in the same position (on different octaves). I marked this notes in &lt;span style="color: lime;"&gt;green&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-To0Q5F8URvg/Ti3AvDUChgI/AAAAAAAABC4/5diarW3o-9c/s1600/Changing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-To0Q5F8URvg/Ti3AvDUChgI/AAAAAAAABC4/5diarW3o-9c/s400/Changing.jpg" width="328" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The left hand plays exactly the same accompaniment and I put in &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;red&lt;/span&gt; the notes you should stress. The whole bass accompaniment has some notes that you have to put in evidence. In my transcription you find a _ under this notes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If you enjoyed listening my music or appreciate my work, please consider     to make a donation (right sidebar menu button), if you wish, you  will receive in    exchange the PDF Sheet Music File of this Piano  Piece.

L'idea è quella di realizzare musiche  gradevoli e   non complesse che possono suonare tutti. &lt;a href="http://stores.lulu.com/gaetanoscalfidi" target="_blank"&gt;Qui&lt;/a&gt; si trovano gli spartiti, grazie per il supporto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Questo brano è basato su una sequenza di 4 accordi che si ripete costantemente. Persino la melodia si ripete ma con alcune variazioni. Prestando attenzione a questa musica la melodia si può sentire quasi sempre in sottofondo. Nell'esempio di seguito la battuta indicata nella parte superiore è quella che suono nel video al minuto 1'25''. La battuta della parte inferiore è quella che suono al minuto 1'50''. Come si nota,la maggior parte delle note della melodia si trovano nella stessa posizione (anche se su ottave diverse). Queste note sono indicate in &lt;span style="color: lime;"&gt;verde&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-To0Q5F8URvg/Ti3AvDUChgI/AAAAAAAABC4/5diarW3o-9c/s1600/Changing.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-To0Q5F8URvg/Ti3AvDUChgI/AAAAAAAABC4/5diarW3o-9c/s400/Changing.jpg" width="328" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La mano sinistra suona in questo caso esattamente lo stesso accompagnamento, ho indicato in &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;rosso &lt;/span&gt;le note da accentare.

Per ora basterà sottolineare che l'organizzazione in musica è fondamentale. Aiuta l'ascoltatore ad orientarsi, dimostra che il pezzo è stato studiato e composto con un certo criterio. Come un compositore di musica pop alternerà strofe a ritornello, così gli altri generi musicali vedono l'alternanza di diversi temi in un pezzo. Il modo in cui questi si combinano o combattono tra di loro per avere il sopravvento è scelta precisa del compositore, che appunto "organizza" i brani.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Personalmente quando penso ad un pezzo easy listening per piano la struttura che preferisco è A - B - A. Dove A sta per "primo tema" e B per "secondo tema".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Usate le ripetizioni.&lt;/b&gt; Ma senza esagerare. Ripetere troppo può annoiare. Ripetere aggiungendo piccole variazioni, note di abbellimento può essere una buona soluzione. Si possono alternare due temi integralmente oppure si può ripetere anche solo una parte di essi. Anche in questo caso la scelta dipende dal compositore. Io uso spesso anche gli schemi A - B - B - A oppure A - B - A - B o ancora A - B - A' (ovvero primo tema leggermente variato).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Evitate un mix di troppi temi spezzettati, incompleti, non sviluppati pienamente. &lt;/b&gt;A meno che non sia questo il vostro fine compositivo, ovvero creare un collage indefinito di piccoli temi solitari, cosa che eviterei all'inizio e direi sarebbe meglio lasciare a compositori più esperti. Genericamente possiamo dire che 2 massimo 3 temi sono più che sufficienti per una composizione finita. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Evitate brani eccessivamente lunghi.&lt;/b&gt; L'eccessiva lunghezza può dipendere dal fatto che esagerate in ripetizioni (vedi punto 2) oppure che ci sono troppi temi diversi (vedi punto 3). In questo caso disorientate l'ascoltatore, perdete la sua attenzione, non lo invogliate a risentire il brano. Naturalmente ci sono tante eccezioni, ma lasciamole per il momento stare. Noi siamo compositori in erba. Diciamo che sono sufficienti 3 minuti e mezzo, massimo 4 minuti per dare modo ad un brano di esprimersi pienamente.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;5) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Evitate l'eccessiva complessità.&lt;/b&gt; Questo è un errore diffusissimo. Per sorprendere il pubblico, per impressionare gli ascoltatori si punta su velocità e sofisticatezza, pensando che siano la chiave per il successo di un brano. Sbagliato. È il contrario. Semplicità, chiarezza, capacità di suscitare emozioni nell'ascoltatore sono molto più importanti. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;6) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Concedete alla vostra creatività il tempo che essa richiede.&lt;/b&gt; Non abbiate fretta di trovare l'ispirazione. Comporre richiede tempo. Non solo il tempo necessario per creare le varie sezioni del brano, ma per organizzarlo, per correggerlo, affinarlo, perfezionarlo, modificarlo (se necessario) e completarlo. Certe composizioni possono restare nel cassetto per anni prima di essere completate. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Copyright     © Piano Feeling.

For now is enough to say that the organization is essential in music. It helps the listener to orient  themselves, it shows that the piece is studied and composed with a certain criterion. As a pop music composer alternate verses and chorus, so in other types  of music there is the alternation of different themes in one piece. The way these themes are combined, or fight each other for being predominant in the piece is precise choice of the composer, who "organizes" the songs. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Personally, when I think of an easy listening piece for piano, I prefer is the structure A - B - A. Where A means "first theme" and B "second theme." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2) Use repetitions.&lt;/b&gt; But do not overdo with them. Too many repetitions can bore the listeners. Repeating by adding small changes and ornaments can be a good solution. You can switch between two themes repeated in full or you can repeat just part of them. Once again the choice depends only on the composer. I often use also structures like A - B - B - A or A - B - A - B, or A - B - A' (i.e. first theme slightly varied). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3) Do not mix too many fragmented, incomplete, or not fully developed &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;themes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;  Unless this is the purpose of your composition: to create a collage of  indefinite solitary small themes (which I would avoid at the beginning, it should be better left to advanced composers). Generally we can say that 2 up to 3 themes are more than sufficient for a composition. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4) Avoid excessively lenght.&lt;/b&gt; The excessive  length may depend on too many repetitions (see point 2) or on too many different themes (see point 3). In this case the listener can be confused, you could lose his attention, he won't be listening the song again. Of course there are many exceptions, but let's leave them for now. We are aspiring composers. Let's say that 3 ½ minutes, maximum 4 minutes are sufficient. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;5) Avoid excessive complexity.&lt;/b&gt; This is a popular mistake.&amp;nbsp;To surprise the audience and to impress the listeners many composers use speed and sophistication, thinking that these are the key  to the success of a song. That's wrong. It is the opposite. Simplicity, clarity, ability to provoke emotions are much more important. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;6) Give your creativity the time it requires&lt;/b&gt; to find inspiration. Composing music takes a lot of time. Not only the time required to create  the various sections of the piece, but also the time to organize it, to correct it,  to refine it, to modify it (if necessary) and complete it. A composition may remain unfinished for years.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Copyright    © Piano Feeling.

Comporre lontani dallo strumento? Com'è possibile? In realtà in questa affermazione non c'è nulla di inverosimile. &lt;b&gt;La maggior parte dei compositori alterna la composizione allo strumento alla composizione lontano dallo strumento&lt;/b&gt;, anche se poi ognuno preferisce una delle due possibilità o si crea il proprio mix personalizzato.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Comporre allo strumento è la soluzione più comune. Ci si siede al piano, si imbraccia la chitarra e si inizia a provare qualcosa, a improvvisare o a riprodurre allo strumento un motivo che abbiamo sviluppato in testa. Ed ecco qui la composizione non allo strumento: il motivo lo avevamo in testa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Come ci sia arrivato è un altro discorso. Potremmo averlo sentito in strada o alla radio e potremmo poi averlo modificato e personalizzato fino a memorizzarlo. Potremmo averlo creato in precedenza mentre strimpellavamo qualcosa. Le possibilità sono tante.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Immaginiamo queste due situazioni tipiche. Abbiamo composto allo strumento un breve spezzone del nostro prossimo brano. Lontani dallo strumento ripetiamo in testa il motivo, cercando variazioni, provando a esplorare alternative, cercando di svilupparlo. Ci viene qualche idea, un'intuizione. Quando torniamo allo strumento proviamo a mettere in pratica, a testare quando avevamo creato lontani dalle note reali.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Anche il contrario è possibile. Componiamo in mente un motivo e lo ripetiamo in testa, cercando variazioni, provando a esplorare  alternative, cercando di svilupparlo. Allo strumento proviamo a mettere in  pratica, a testare quando avevamo creato lontani dalle note reali.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Se io scrivo ora TA - TA - TI - TU - TA - TA - TA ognuno leggerebbe questo motivo in modo diverso. Darebbe un suo ritmo, tempo e ovviamente nome a valore diverso alle sillabe che sul pentagramma diventeranno note. Questa è una forma primitiva di composizione lontani dallo strumento. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Comporre allo strumento ha il vantaggio di darci un contatto diretto con il suono&lt;/b&gt;. Abbiamo quindi la possibilità di testare immediatamente il nostro materiale compositivo e le nostre idee. Possiamo subito verificare fattibilità e gradimento. &lt;b&gt;Ma la composizione allo strumento si scontra con i nostri limiti tecnici&lt;/b&gt;. Potremmo non essere in grado di eseguire quello che vorremmo comporre. &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Comporre lontani dallo strumento può essere un modo per estendere la nostra immaginazione musicale, uscire dai limiti dello strumento, permetterci di creare una miscela tra quello che creiamo quando siamo al nostro strumento e le emozioni che proviamo nella vita quando siamo lontani da esso&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Copyright    © Piano Feeling.

Composing away from the instrument? How is it possible? However, there is nothing improbable in this statement . &lt;b&gt;Most of the composers alternates the composition at the instrument to the composition away from the instrument&lt;/b&gt;, even if everyone prefers one of the two possibilities, or create his own custom mix.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Composing at the instrument is the most common way of composing. You sit at the piano or take the guitar and start to try something, to improvise, or to play at the instrument what you have created in your head. And here you find the composition away from the instrument: you had the notes in mind.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;How they came there, is another story. We could have heard the notes on the street or on the radio, and we could have edited them and customized until we saved them in mind. We could have created a melody while strumming something around. There are many possibilities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Let's imagine these two typical situations. We composed at the instrument a short piece of our next song. Away from the instrument we repeat the melody in our head, looking for some changes, trying to explore alternatives, trying to develop it. When we return to the instrument we try to put all of this into practice, to test what we created far from the real notes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The opposite is also possible. We compose a melody in our mind and we repeat it in our head, trying variations, trying to explore alternatives, trying to develop it. At the instrument we try to put all of this into practice, to test what we created far from the real notes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If I am writing now TA - TA - TI - TU - TA - TA - TA everyone would read it differently. Everyone would give his rhythm, time, name and duration to this syllables that will became notes on the staff. This is a primitive form of composition away from the instrument.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Composing at the instrument has the advantage of giving us a direct contact with the sound.&lt;/b&gt; We can then immediately test our ideas and our composition material. We can immediately verify its feasibility and acceptance. &lt;b&gt;But this kind of composition collides with our technical limitations&lt;/b&gt;. We may not be able to play what we want to compose.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Composing away from the instrument can be a way to extend our musical imagination, going out from the instrument, allowing us to create a mix between what we create when we are at our instrument and the emotions we feel in life when we are far from it. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Copyright   © Piano Feeling.

Secondo questo luogo comune, sono i musicisti jazz gli unici in grado di suonare istantaneamente "improvvisando", agli altri musicisti serve per forza uno spartito sotto al naso per eseguire una musica. Certamente il jazz ha fatto dell'improvvisazione uno dei suoi caratteri distintivi, ma affermazioni così drastiche si scontrano palesemente con il fatto che è storicamente noto che musicisti "classici" come Bach, Mozart, Chopin, List e molti altri erano tutti improvvisatori dalle doti straordinarie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Si narra che Bach avesse raggiunto una tale padronanza del del contrappunto da poter improvvisare una fuga a più voci. Si racconta altresì che Chopin, colto da indisposizione, piuttosto che annullare un concerto avesse deciso di trasformare il programma che doveva eseguire in una unica immensa improvvisazione, conclusasi con un applauso trionfale.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quando si parla di composizione, improvvisazione e teoria sono elementi strettamente collegati.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Anche &lt;b&gt;chi improvvisa jazz conosce la teoria&lt;/b&gt;. Chi improvvisa lo fa seguendo regole o rompendo sistematicamente tali regole, o ancora alternando tradizione (regole) a innovazione (violazione delle regole). Non è necessario conoscere tutta la teoria musicale, l'armonia, il contrappunto. Possono bastare anche solo le nozioni base.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Si può improvvisare seguendo la teoria, ma &lt;b&gt;è anche possibile partire dalla teoria per arrivare all'improvvisazione&lt;/b&gt;. In questo caso si possono usare &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadenza" target="_blank"&gt;cadenze&lt;/a&gt;, sequenze armoniche standard, pattern melodici e molti altri elementi teorici. Partendo da qui si può costruire un brano compiuto improvvisando, l'unico ingrediente che serve è un po' di creatività.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Possiamo dire allora che alla base della composizione vi è un &lt;b&gt;mix di improvvisazione, teoria e creatività&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sbaglia chi sostiene che per comporre basta saper solo improvvisare. Sbaglia anche chi sostiene che una solida e ampia competenza teorica possa compensare il non sapere improvvisare.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Improvvisazione e teoria camminano insieme. L'improvvisazione vi da un tema, la teoria vi aiuta a modificarlo, a svilupparlo, a farne una musica. La teoria vi suggerisce una sequenza naturale di accordi. L'improvvisazione vi aiuta a variarla, a personalizzarla, a trovare una melodia adatta.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Alla base di ciò ci sono &lt;b&gt;ispirazione e creatività&lt;/b&gt;. La prima da il via alla composizione, la seconda conduce al suo sviluppo e perfezionamento.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Consiglio a chiunque decida di comporre musica di imparare la teoria. Almeno quella base. Bisogna vincere la riluttanza ad aprire i libri, a studiare. Imparare le scale, gli intervalli, le cadenze, saper modulare, anche ad un livello elementare potrà alla fine essere l'elemento distintivo tra un compositore ordinato e un compositore fallace. Anche se entrambi nel mondo moderno corrono il rischio di restare nell'anonimato. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Consiglio a chiunque decida di comporre musica di imparare a improvvisare. Esercitarsi e provare molto, anche ad un livello elementare. Bisogna vincere il desiderio del tutto subito, dell'eseguire subito "al volo" un brano di musica, dell'imparare in mezza giornata un pezzo sapendoci improvvisare subito sopra alla perfezione. Tutto ciò è possibile, certamente, ma sono qualità riservate ad artisti dalle doti straordinarie, fuori dal comune. Saper ben improvvisare potrà alla fine essere l'elemento distintivo tra un musicista creativo o un musicista banale.  Anche se entrambi nel mondo moderno corrono il rischio di restare nell'anonimato.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In precedenza abbiamo parlato delle &lt;a href="http://pianofeeling.blogspot.com/2011/02/le-fonti-dispirazione-del-musicista.html"&gt;fonti di ispirazione&lt;/a&gt; del musicista, ora abbiamo visto che serve un giusto mix tra improvvisazione e teoria per poter comporre.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tutto ciò sarà ancora più vero nel prossimo post il quale parlerà della composizione allo strumento e della composizione non allo strumento. Per quest'ultima infatti è assolutamente necessaria la conoscenza della teoria piuttosto che l'improvvisazione, venendo a mancare la sua stessa materia prima, ovvero uno strumento da suonare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Copyright   © Piano Feeling.

According to this common belief, only jazz musicians can play instantly "jamming", all other musicians need a score below the nose to make music. Certainly jazz music made of improvisation one of its distinguishing features, but such drastic statements clearly crash with the fact that it is historically known that "classical" musicians like Bach, Mozart, Chopin, List, and many others were improvisers with extraordinary gifts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It is said that Bach had achieved such a mastery in counterpoint to be able to improvise a fugue with several voices. It is said also that Chopin, seized by illness, rather than cancel a gig decided to turn the concert program into one immense improvisation, which ended with a triumphal applause. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;When it comes to composition, improvisation and theory are closely connected.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Even &lt;b&gt;jazz players know the theory&lt;/b&gt;. Who improvises makes music following some rules, breaking those rules systematically, or alternating tradition (rules) to innovation (violation of rules). It is not necessary to know all music theory, harmony, counterpoint. Just the basics can be enough.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;You can improvise knowing the theory, but it is also possible &lt;b&gt;to go from theory to improvisation&lt;/b&gt;. In this case you can use &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence_%28music%29" target="_blank"&gt;cadences&lt;/a&gt;, harmonic sequences, standard melodic patterns and many other rules. From here you can build a song improvising, the only ingredient you need is a bit of creativity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We can say then, that the the base composition is a &lt;b&gt;mix of improvisation, theory and creativity&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Those who say that "&lt;i&gt;it is enough to be able to improvise to compose music&lt;/i&gt;", are wrong. Even those who argue that &lt;i&gt;"a solid and broad theoretical competence can compensate for not being able to improvise&lt;/i&gt;", are wrong.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Improvisation and theory go together. Improvisation can give us a theme, the theory helps us to change it, develop it, to make it a music. The theory suggests a natural sequence of chords. Improvisation helps us to change it, to personalize it, to find a suitable melody.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;At the very base of this process there are &lt;b&gt;inspiration and creativity&lt;/b&gt;. The first launches the composition, the second leads to its development and refinement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I recommend to anyone who decides to make music to learn theory. At least the basis theory. We must win the reluctance to open books, to study. To learn scales, intervals, cadences, how to modulate, even at an elementary level, could be the distinction key between a good composer and a bad composer. Even if in modern world both run the risk of remaining anonymous.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I recommend to anyone who decides to compose music to learn to improvise. Practice and try a lot, even at an elementary level. We must win the desire of having everything at once, of playing a piece immediately "on the fly", of leaning perfectly a music in half-day. All this is possible, of course, but this is reserved to artists with extraordinary gifts. To know how to improvise could be the distinction key between a creative musician or a trivial musician. Even if in modern world both run the risk of remaining anonymous.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In the previous post, we talked about the sources of inspiration of the musician, now we have seen that we need a good mix of improvisation and theory if we want to compose.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This will be even more true in the next post, in which I will talk about the composition at the instrument and the composition away from the instrument. In this case, in fact, it is absolutely necessary to know the theory rather than improvisation, as it misses its own raw material: an instrument to play.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Copyright   © Piano Feeling.

A questo punto però qualcuno potrebbe chiedersi "&lt;i&gt;sì ok, io ora voglio comporre qualcosa, ma non so da dove iniziare, quali possono essere le mie fonti d'ispirazione?&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Effettivamente anche se disponiamo di tutta la buona volontà del mondo, se non sappiamo da dove trarre idee e ispirazione il problema può sembrarci abbastanza grande. Eppure la risposta è più facile di quello che sembra.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1) Innanzitutto è necessario &lt;b&gt;ascoltare moltissima musica&lt;/b&gt;. Un ascolto attento aiuterà a sviluppare un buon orecchio, ci permetterà di riconoscere le melodie, i pattern, gli stili. Dalla musica preesistente possiamo trarre idee, sviluppare variazioni di motivi noti, essere folgorati durante l'ascolto da un'intuizione originale ecc. Questo aspetto non è da trascurare, perché il nostro cervello assimila molte più informazioni di quelle che ricordiamo e di quelle di cui ci rendiamo conto. Così in futuro potrebbe tornarci in mente una breve melodia di cui non ricordiamo la provenienza, potremmo trovarci a fischiettare un motivetto che ci piace ma di cui ci sfugge l'origine. In realtà queste potrebbero anche essere nuove idee musicali originate dall'ascolto di musica e che abbiamo rielaborato nella nostra testa nel corso del tempo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2) A volte la &lt;b&gt;commistione di generi musicali diversi&lt;/b&gt;, o di stili e idee provenienti da &lt;b&gt;culture differenti&lt;/b&gt; può avere lo stesso effetto e rivelarsi una straordinaria fonte d'ispirazione. Il mix di questi elementi radicati in culture a volte lontanissime e molto diverse può aprire al compositore orizzonti di straordinaria grandezza e il risultato della composizione potrebbe essere sorprendente. Qualche esempio banale:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- "&lt;i&gt;quel musicista dopo aver passato gli ultimi 10 anni della sua vita in Brasile ha composto un album di samba e bossa nova&lt;/i&gt;"; "&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;- l'incontro di 2 anni fa tra Tizio e Caio, tra gli indiscussi re del blues, è all'origine di questo nuovo singolo in stile blues di Tizio&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;3) Un terzo fattore da tenere in considerazione è strettamente legato al precedente, ma è più generale. Non solo è necessario ascoltare molta musica, ma bisogna &lt;b&gt;prestare attenzione anche a tutte le fonti musicali che ci circondano&lt;/b&gt;. Il mondo abbonda di musica. Ovunque ci troviamo sentiamo jingle, brevi motivi in spot pubblicitari, artisti di strada che improvvisano composizioni, ma anche gente che canta, uccelli che cinguettano, ragazzi in metropolitana che ascoltano l'mp3 a volume talmente alto da riconoscere cosa stanno ascoltando, e molto ancora.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ebbene, come una frase sentita dire di sfuggita, un breve scritto di un amico o la citazione di un libro può essere d'ispirazione per la nostra ultima poesia, così tutto il materiale di cui sopra - dalla musica che ascoltiamo attivamente a quella che ci troviamo ad ascoltare per il solo fatto di esistere - può fare da fonte d'ispirazione per un nostro lavoro musicale.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Beh, a questo punto abbiamo già una buona base di partenza, il materiale da cui trarre ispirazione è tanto. Eppure le fonti sono molte di più e non sempre così immediate come quelle precedenti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;4) Potremmo trovarci ad attendere qualcuno in un bellissimo giardino colorato, ad ammirare un tramonto sul mare, ad osservare la nebbia che si infrange contro cime innevate, a seguire la danza di foglie autunnali che cadono dagli alberi e molto ancora. &lt;b&gt;La natura e la sua osservazione&lt;/b&gt; sono una grandissima fonte di ispirazione. Qui però solo raramente abbiamo suoni che possono guidarci. Il fruscio delle foglie. Lo scroscio del mare. Il grosso del lavoro lo dobbiamo fare dentro di noi: elaborare queste immagini e queste sensazioni, e convertirle in musica.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;E qui sicuramente qualcuno storcerà il naso. "&lt;i&gt;Trarre spunto da questi elementi non è cosa facile"&lt;/i&gt;. Ne siamo veramente sicuri? Proviamo a combinarli.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Le onde che si infrangono sulla spiaggia battono il tempo, sono il nostro metronomo, ci vengono in mente un paio di note leggere, mentre una sirena in lontananza irrompe come un accordo maestoso proprio in mezzo alla quiete... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Un uccello canticchia su un ramo mentre il vento tra gli alberi crea un sottofondo musicale continuo. Folate di vento più intenso spingono più in alto le foglie caduche quasi a voler accentare in quegli istanti precisi il canto dell'uccello, come se fossero il suo direttore d'orchestra...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Gli esempi sono infiniti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Siamo visionari? Sognatori? Instancabili romantici? Illusi? No, siamo musicisti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ma andiamo avanti.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;5) Cosa possiamo combinare con le fonti di ispirazione di cui sopra? Quali sono gli altri elementi da quali possiamo trarre spunto per una composizione?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ad esempio, &lt;b&gt;i nostri sentimenti, le nostre sensazioni&lt;/b&gt;. È certamente fuori discussione il fatto che il nostro &lt;b&gt;umore &lt;/b&gt;influenzi le nostre composizioni. Il paragone con la poesia ovviamente torna di nuovo utile. Come un testo può riflettere la tristezza, la gioia, l'illusione, la disillusione ecc. dello scrittore, così può farlo la musica. Torniamo quindi ad un concetto già espresso. La composizione è anche comunicazione. "&lt;i&gt;Si tratta di usare solo un linguaggio diverso, le note invece che le parole, il pentagramma invece che una lettera&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;6) Ad un livello ancora più alto potremmo trovare ispirazione in &lt;b&gt;concetti &lt;/b&gt;addirittura più &lt;b&gt;generali&lt;/b&gt;, come l'amore in sé, o la bellezza. Vorremo allora comporre per dare suono all'idea della bellezza, come un pittore le ha dato colore dipingendo una Venere o come uno scultore le ha dato forma scolpendo un corpo nudo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;7)&lt;b&gt; I nostri ricordi&lt;/b&gt; non solo di avvenimenti, di immagini o di sensazioni, ma anche di persone care o di torti subiti possono essere un ulteriore fonte d'ispirazione. In generale è la nostra &lt;b&gt;memoria&lt;/b&gt; che è una grandissima fonte d'ispirazione. Dobbiamo imparare ad esplorarla e a tradurre in musica quello che portiamo dentro di noi. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;8) Finora ci siamo lasciati ispirare da qualsiasi cosa, ma non ancora dal nostro strumento. &lt;b&gt;Strimpellare qualche nota oppure approfondire un elemento della teoria che stiamo studiando&lt;/b&gt; potrebbero essere due esempi perfetti. Nel primo caso improvvisiamo qualche nota creando qualche sequenza che se ci piace possiamo trascrivere o memorizzare per lavorarci più avanti. Nel secondo caso sfruttiamo la teoria (ad esempio, lo studio degli intervalli) per creare qualcosa di originale. Mentre studiamo il nostro strumento o ci esercitiamo, quello che suoniamo potrebbe essere portatore di idee musicali che dobbiamo solo scoprire e elaborare. Addirittura da un esecuzione sbagliata, che stravolge una melodia, un ritmo, o un significato potremmo prendere spunto per la creazione di una nuova composizione originale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Credere in quello che si fa, comporre con entusiasmo, essere creativi e rischiare fanno da corollario a questo discorso sulle fonti d'ispirazione. Anche l'idea migliore e il compositore più in gamba ne hanno sempre bisogno.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Copyright   © Piano Feeling.

Now, however, someone might ask himself "&lt;i&gt;yes ok, now I want to write some music, but I do not know where to start, which are my sources of inspiration?&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Indeed, even if we are really motivated, this problem can seem big enough, if we do not know where to get ideas and inspiration. Yet the answer is easier than it looks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1) First you need to &lt;b&gt;listen to a lot of music&lt;/b&gt;. A careful listening will help to develop a good pitch, to recognize melodies, patterns, styles. From already existing music we could take ideas, develop variations of melodies known, we could be stricken by an original intuition and so on. We do not have to ignore this things, because our brain absorbs much more information than we remember and than we realize. In the future a short melody could come back to our mind and we do not remember the source, we may find ourselves whistling a tune that we like, but we do not understand where we get it. These ideas could simply be the result of music listened long time ago that we have revised over time. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2) Sometimes the mix of &lt;b&gt;different musical genres&lt;/b&gt;, styles and ideas coming from &lt;b&gt;different cultures&lt;/b&gt;, can have the same effect and be an incredible source of inspiration. The mix of these elements belonging to cultures sometimes very different from ours, can open to the composer new horizons and the result of the composition could be surprising. Some simple examples:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- "&lt;i&gt;That musician has composed an album of samba and bossa nova&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;after spending the last 10 years of his life in Brazil &lt;/i&gt;";&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- "&lt;i&gt;The joint between Tom and Dick, the king of the blues, has been the basis for this new single-style blues of Tom.&lt;/i&gt; "&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;3) A third factor to consider is closely related to the previous two, but is more general. It is not only necessary to hear a lot of music, &lt;b&gt;we must also pay attention to all the musical sources that surround us&lt;/b&gt;. The world is full of music. Everywhere we are we hear jingle, short melodies in commercials, street performers who improvise compositions, people singing, birds chirping, kids on the subway who listen to the mp3 player so high that we recognize what they are listening to (!), and much more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Well, as a phrase heard from someone passing by, a brief written by a friend or a quote from a book can be an inspiration for our last poem, so all the above material can be a source of inspiration for our musical works.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Now we have a good starting point. Yet the sources of inspiration are much more and not always so immediate as the previous ones. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;4) We could have an appointment in a beautiful, colourful garden; we could admire the sunset over the sea; watch the mist crashing against snowy peaks; follow autumn dancing leaves falling from the trees and much more. &lt;b&gt;The Nature and its observation&lt;/b&gt; are a great source of inspiration. Here, however, we have rarely real sounds that can guide us. The rustle of leaves. The roar of the sea. But the bulk of the work must be done within us: to develop these images and sensations, and convert them to music.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Now someone could be disappointed. "&lt;i&gt;To be inspired from these elements is not so easy.&lt;/i&gt;" Are we really sure? We try to combine them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The waves breaking on the beach are giving us the time, like a metronome, a couple of notes come in our mind, meanwhile we hear a siren in the distance as a suddenly chord exploding right in the middle of this quiet atmosphere...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A bird sings on a branch and the wind is blowing between the trees, creating a continuous background music. More intensive wind blasts push the leaves higher to stress in those precise moments the singing of the bird, as they were its orchestra leader...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The examples are endless.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Are we dreamers? Tireless romantic? No, we're musicians.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But let's go on.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;5) Which are the other elements that can inspire our compositions? For example &lt;b&gt;our feelings&lt;/b&gt;. It is a fact that our &lt;b&gt;mood&lt;/b&gt; affects our own compositions. The comparison with the poetry can be useful again. As a text can reflect the sadness, happiness, illusion or disillusionment of the writer, so can do the music. Let us return then to a concept already expressed. The composition is also communication. "&lt;i&gt;It is only about using a different language, notes instead of words, staffs rather than letters.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) At an higher level we might find inspiration in even more &lt;b&gt;general concepts&lt;/b&gt;, like love or beauty. We would then compose to give a sound to the idea of beauty, like a painter gave her colours painting a Venus, or like a sculptor gave her a form, carving a naked body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) &lt;b&gt;Our memories&lt;/b&gt; not only of events, images or sensations, but also of dear persons or sad moments may be an additional source of inspiration. &lt;b&gt;Our memory&lt;/b&gt; is in general a great source of inspiration. We must learn to explore it and to put into music what we carry inside us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;8) We have been inspired by anything so far, but not yet by our instrument. &lt;b&gt;Improvising few notes or deepening elements of the theory we are studying&lt;/b&gt; could be two perfect examples. In the first case we improvise few notes, creating some sequence that, if we like, we can write down or save for later work. In the second case we use the theory (for example, the study of intervals) to create something original. What we play by studying our instrument&amp;nbsp; or practising it, can bring us musical ideas that we just have to discover and develop. Even from a wrong execution, which twists a melody, a rhythm, or a meaning, we could get ideas for creating a new original composition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To believe in what we do, to compose with enthusiasm, to be creative and to take risks are a corollary to this argument about the sources of inspiration. Even the best idea and the best composer need them. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Copyright  © Piano Feeling.

Una composizione musicale nasce da un processo compositivo, o in altri termini, l'attività compositiva può condurre alla creazione di musiche originali.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A noi interessa per il momento principalmente il primo significato del termine. Se ci accingiamo a comporre un brano dobbiamo tenere presente che esso deve avere tra le sue caratteristiche almeno le seguenti:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;deve essere &lt;b&gt;opera del nostro ingegno&lt;/b&gt;;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;deve contenere una &lt;b&gt;combinazione di fattori&lt;/b&gt; quali ritmo, tempo, melodia, armonia, dinamica ecc.; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;deve prevedere combinazione e &lt;b&gt;organizzazione dei diversi elementi tematici&lt;/b&gt; (idee musicali), i quali insieme devono formare un tutto;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;deve essere &lt;b&gt;costruita secondo struttura e regole&lt;/b&gt; precise, oppure secondo la sistematica violazione di schemi e regole date, oppure secondo un mix di rispetto delle regole e consapevole violazione delle stesse.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span id="goog_4559793"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_4559794"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Una composizione di musica è allora &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;un brano originale e compiuto&lt;/b&gt; (non nel senso di finito, terminato, ma nel senso di "&lt;i&gt;a sé stante&lt;/i&gt;") &lt;b&gt;che contiene e combina al suo interno &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;diverse idee musicali ed elementi distintivi&lt;/b&gt; (ritmo, tempo ecc.) &lt;b&gt;organizzati secondo una struttura e delle regole che sono scelta del musicista compositore. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Una composizione musicale è profondamente legata ai seguenti elementi:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1) &lt;b&gt;l'epoca storica&lt;/b&gt; in cui viene creata;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2) &lt;b&gt;la personalità&lt;/b&gt; del compositore;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;3) &lt;b&gt;fattori culturali&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3WzISswd4YA/TVR0PupsiMI/AAAAAAAAAJs/yXYEoIoarS8/s1600/header_classica.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="45" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3WzISswd4YA/TVR0PupsiMI/AAAAAAAAAJs/yXYEoIoarS8/s320/header_classica.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La combinazione di questi ultimi tre elementi determina quello che viene chiamato &lt;b&gt;stile&lt;/b&gt;, sia in termini generali (musica barocca, romantica ecc.), sia in termini particolari ("&lt;i&gt;lo stile del musicista&lt;/i&gt;").&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La combinazione degli elementi precedenti determina invece lo &lt;b&gt;stile del brano&lt;/b&gt;, anche in questo caso sia in termini generali (composizione classica, musica leggera, ecc.), sia in termini particolari (notturno, valzer, ecc.).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Infine una composizione può nascere dall'&lt;b&gt;improvvisazione&lt;/b&gt; (composizione istantanea, spontanea o estemporanea), oppure dall'attività sistematica di composizione. Nel primo caso nasce prima la musica e poi eventualmente lo spartito. Nel secondo caso lo spartito precede l'esecuzione del brano.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nel prossimo post parlerò delle fonti d'ispirazione del musicista.

A musical composition is created by the process of composition, or in other words, the compositional activity can lead to the creation of original music.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We are interested for the moment at the primary meaning of the term. If we are going to compose a song we must keep in mind that it must have at least among its features the following:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;must be the &lt;b&gt;work of our intelligence&lt;/b&gt;;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;must contain a &lt;b&gt;combination of factors&lt;/b&gt; such as rhythm, tempo, melody, harmony, dynamics etc.;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;must include the combination and the &lt;b&gt;organization of various thematic elements&lt;/b&gt; (musical ideas), which together should form a whole;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;must be &lt;b&gt;built according to strict rules and structure&lt;/b&gt;, or according to the systematic violation of pattern and rules already given, or as a mix of compliance and conscious violation of this rules and schemes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;A musical composition is an original and completed song&lt;/b&gt; (not in the sense of finished, done, but in the sense of "&lt;i&gt;stand-alone&lt;/i&gt;") &lt;b&gt;that contains and combines within it different musical ideas and distinctive elements&lt;/b&gt; (rhythm, time, etc..) &lt;b&gt;organized in structure and rules chosen by the composer&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A musical composition is closely linked to the following elements:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1) &lt;b&gt;the historical era&lt;/b&gt; in which it is created;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2) &lt;b&gt;the personality&lt;/b&gt; of the composer;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;3) &lt;b&gt;cultural factors&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3WzISswd4YA/TVR0PupsiMI/AAAAAAAAAJs/yXYEoIoarS8/s1600/header_classica.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="45" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3WzISswd4YA/TVR0PupsiMI/AAAAAAAAAJs/yXYEoIoarS8/s320/header_classica.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The combination of these three elements determines what is called &lt;b&gt;style&lt;/b&gt;, both in general (baroque music, romantic music, etc..) and in particular terms ("&lt;i&gt;the style of the musician&lt;/i&gt;").&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The combination of the previous elements determines instead the &lt;b&gt;style of the song&lt;/b&gt;, again both in general (classical composition, pop music, etc..) and in particular terms (nightmusic, waltz, etc.).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Finally, a musical composition may come out from &lt;b&gt;improvisation &lt;/b&gt;(instant composition, spontaneous or extemporaneous), or from the activity of systematic composition. In the first case, the music performance comes first and then eventually the score. In the second case the score precedes the performance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In the next post will write something about the source of inspirations of the musician.

Parlerò talvolta di teoria, altre volte di pratica mostrando alcune sequenze e progressioni di accordi standard, gli accompagnamenti della mano sinistra, le tecniche per creare una melodia ecc. Comincerò con piccole notazioni generali fino ad arrivare alla composizione di un brano partendo da zero.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il tutto ha inizio con un concetto generale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La domanda che alcuni musicisti si pongono "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;perché comporre musica?&lt;/span&gt;" nasconde in realtà un&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YsxrqAi1W8Y/TVBv-RXS5II/AAAAAAAAAJU/t-6Mh2TI5Q4/s1600/Composizione1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571075854660985986" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YsxrqAi1W8Y/TVBv-RXS5II/AAAAAAAAAJU/t-6Mh2TI5Q4/s320/Composizione1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 163px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; imbarazzo emotivo, un blocco psicologico, forse vergogna ("&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;e se poi il pezzo non piace&lt;/span&gt;?") o eccessiva modestia ("&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;non è un gran che&lt;/span&gt;", "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;non sono abbastanza bravo&lt;/span&gt;" ecc.).&lt;br /&gt;In realtà la domanda che bisognerebbe inizialmente porsi è: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;perché NON comporre musica?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noi cresciamo in un sistema educativo che insegna a tutti (o quasi) a leggere e scrivere fin dai primi anni di vita. Pochi hanno però la possibilità (o il privilegio) di acquisire anche nozioni di musica. Sebbene la musica circondi e accompagni ogni istante della nostra vita, il suo insegnamento non è offerto o garantito a tutti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generalizzando un po' possiamo dire che se ci guardiamo intorno, praticamente chiunque ha scritto una "poesia" o (se non vogliamo esagerare) un "messaggio poetico". Lo abbiamo fatto noi e lo hanno fatto i nostri amici e conoscenti, magari per dedicarla alla prima fidanzata, per descrivere uno stato d'animo, per commentare un evento lieto o per un qualsiasi motivo che ci ha permesso di vivere emozioni particolari. Chiunque sappia leggere e scrivere teoricamente è in grado di mettere nero su bianco un "componimento poetico" (le virgolette sono d'obbligo, è un esempio e sto appositamente esagerando).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La musica non è che un linguaggio mediante il quale è possibile esprimersi. Allora comporre musica può essere un'alternativa allo scrivere una poesia. Bisogna semplicemente conoscere la musica. Il musicista da questo punto di vista non ha nessun motivo per NON comporre musica.&lt;br /&gt;Il giovane poeta, o il giovane compositore, utilizzano solo un linguaggio diverso avendo però lo stesso fine: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;comunicare qualcosa a se stessi o agli altri&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eccoci tornati allora alla domanda con la quale avevo iniziato il post: perché comporre musica?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un primo motivo sarebbe: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;per sopravvivere&lt;/span&gt; (ma non nel senso di "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;se non compongo questo brano mi sento di morire!&lt;/span&gt;"). In questo caso saremmo dei compositori professionisti. Presentare nuove composizioni è quindi la nostra principale fonte di guadagno.&lt;br /&gt;Chi pensa che questo scenario riguardi solo gruppi rock o cantautori ecc. si sbaglia. Qualche secolo fa anche musicisti classici avevano l'esigenza di comporre, dovevano portare le loro nuove opere all'editore. Questo era per loro un mezzo di sostentamento, insieme ad esempio alle lezioni di musica.&lt;br /&gt;Noi tuttavia siamo compositori della domenica, abbiamo appena iniziato, scriviamo musichette non capolavori. Quello di guadagnare qualcosa potrebbe all'inizio non essere per noi un motivo sufficiente che ci spinga a comporre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ecco forse un motivo più ragionevole e già accennato. Noi componiamo &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;per comunicare&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Chi conosce il linguaggio musicale, se lo desidera, può comunicare qualcosa con questo mezzo, proprio come il giovane innamorato, conoscendo la scrittura può comunicare qualcosa alla fidanzata. Si tratta di usare solo un linguaggio diverso, le note invece che le parole, il pentagramma invece che una lettera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YsxrqAi1W8Y/TVBwTHuG30I/AAAAAAAAAJc/7gbwY8HzZSA/s1600/Composizione%2B2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571076212849565506" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YsxrqAi1W8Y/TVBwTHuG30I/AAAAAAAAAJc/7gbwY8HzZSA/s320/Composizione%2B2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 172px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Comunicare qualcosa agli altri potrebbe anche non essere il nostro fine compositivo, anzi ciò potrebbe non interessarci proprio.  Del resto a molti musicisti la composizione in sé non interessa neppure, essi ad esempio preferiscono esprimere la propria arte mediante l'interpretazione di brani scritti da altri artisti.&lt;br /&gt;Tuttavia potremmo decidere di scrivere un brano anche solo per ricordarlo. Non possiamo avere la certezza che tra 10 anni saremo ancora in grado di eseguire in modo identico quella sequenza di note, quel motivetto che tanti anni fa suonavamo come espressione di qualcosa provato a quel tempo.&lt;br /&gt;In questo caso la composizione scritta ha sia la funzione &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;di preservare nel tempo&lt;/span&gt; le nostre creazioni, sia la funzione &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;di farci rivivere quelle sensazioni&lt;/span&gt; che provavamo allora, quando abbiamo tirato fuori dal nulla quella musica. In questo caso la composizione è comunicazione, ricordo, espressione di emozioni per sé stessi e non per gli altri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ricapitolando, possiamo dire che non esistono ragioni sufficientemente valide che impediscano al musicista di comporre musica. Quello che conta è conoscere il linguaggio (tecnicamente suonare uno strumento, anche se talvolta neppure è necessario). Anche questioni personali o caratteriali (vergogna, modestia) non possono avere la meglio su quello che può essere il desiderio di ricordare o comunicare qualcosa in futuro anche solo a sé stessi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comporre per: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- sopravvivere&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- comunicare&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- ricordare e rivivere&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non siamo geni impegnati nello sforzo creativo di creare un'opera d'arte, siamo persone comuni che vivono e provano emozioni. Talvolta non c'è niente di più bello che poterle condividere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nel prossimo post parlerò di un altro concetto fondamentale: cos'è una composizione musicale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Copyright © Piano Feeling.

Sometimes I'll talk about theory, sometimes about practice, showing some sequences and standard chord progressions, the accompaniments of the left hand, techniques to create a melody and so on. I'll start with small general information up to the composition of a song.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Everything begins with a general concept.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Some musicians ask themselves "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;why composing music?&lt;/span&gt;". This question hides emotional &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YsxrqAi1W8Y/TVBv-RXS5II/AAAAAAAAAJU/t-6Mh2TI5Q4/s320/Composizione1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YsxrqAi1W8Y/TVBv-RXS5II/AAAAAAAAAJU/t-6Mh2TI5Q4/s320/Composizione1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 163px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;embarrassment, a psychological block, maybe shame ("&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;and if you do not like the piece?&lt;/span&gt;") or excessive modesty ("&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the song is not really that good&lt;/span&gt;", "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I am not good enough&lt;/span&gt;", etc...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;We should ask ourselves instead: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;why NOT composing music?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;We grow in an educational system that teaches everyone (or almost everyone) to read and write from the first years of life. But only the few have the chance (or the privilege) to learn music. Although music surrounds and accompanies every moment of our life, its teaching is not offered or guaranteed to all. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Generalizing a bit, we can say that if we look us around, almost everyone wrote a "poem" or (if we do not want to exaggerate) a "poetic message". We did it and our friends did it too. Perhaps it was dedicated to our first love, was written to describe a mood, to comment an happy event or for any reason that gave us the chance to experience particular emotions. Anyone who can read and write is theoretically able to write a "poem" (the quotes are a must, it is an example and I am expressly exaggerating). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Music is simply a language through which you can express something. To compose music can be then an alternative to write a poem. You simply must know the music. Musicians from this point of view have no reason NOT to compose music.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;The young poet, or the young composer, just use a different language but having the same purpose: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;to communicate something to themselves or to the others&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;So here we are back to the question with which I began this post, why composing music? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;One reason would be: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;to survive&lt;/span&gt; (but not in the sense of "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;if I do not compose this song I would feel like dying!"&lt;/span&gt;). In this case we would be professional songwriters. Presenting new compositions is therefore our main source of income.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Those who think that this scenario relates only to rock bands or singers etc. are wrong. A few centuries ago classical musicians &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;had the need &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;to compose, they had to bring their new works to the publisher. This was for them a livelihood, along with music lessons for example.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;However, we are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Sunday &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;composers, we just started writing "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;jingles" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;not &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;masterpieces&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;. To earn some money could not initially be a good reason for us to compose music. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YsxrqAi1W8Y/TVBwTHuG30I/AAAAAAAAAJc/7gbwY8HzZSA/s320/Composizione%2B2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YsxrqAi1W8Y/TVBwTHuG30I/AAAAAAAAAJc/7gbwY8HzZSA/s320/Composizione%2B2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 172px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Here maybe a better reason, that I already mentioned before. We compose &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;to communicate&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Those who know the language of music, if they wish, can communicate something with this medium, just as the young lover, knowing the writing, can communicate something to his girlfriend. It is only about using a different language, notes instead of words, staffs rather than letters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;To communicate something to other people may not be interesting for us, many musicians not even care about composition, for example, they prefer to express their art through the interpretation of songs written by other artists.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;However we may decide to write a song just to remember it. We can not be sure that in 10 years we will still be able to play &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;the same way &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;that sequence of notes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;, that tune we played many years ago as an expression of something felt at that time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;In this case, a written composition has the function of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;preserving our creations over time&lt;/span&gt;, the function of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;making us live again those feelings&lt;/span&gt; that we felt then. In this case, the composition is communication, memory, expression of emotions to themselves and not to other people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;In short, we can say that there are no strong reasons to prevent the musician to compose music. What is important is to know the language (technically to play an instrument, even though this is sometimes not necessary). Even personal issues (shame, modesty) can not hide the desire to remember or to communicate something in the future even only to ourselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;To compose to:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;- &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;survive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;communicate&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;- &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;remember and live again&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;We are not geniuses involved in the creative effort to create a masterpiece, we are ordinary people who live and feel emotions. Sometimes there's nothing better than to share them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;In the next post I will discuss another basic concept: what is a musical composition. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Copyright © Piano Feeling.

I played and transcribed the complete Song, including the Guitar Intro and Solo, that I rearranged for Piano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are really no particular difficulties to play this Song. Just 2 things to say:&lt;br /&gt;1) by playing the second verse and chorus (Bars 6-31) I have made some little changes. For example the bars 11 and 12-13 are played slightly different (right hand). The same happens to the bass notes (bars 27-31). These are only examples. Everybody can do the changes that he want, if he want.&lt;br /&gt;2) The chorus is in 6/4 not the standard 4/4. Please be careful by putting the accents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This  is a pretty big transcription (4 pages), so if you saved time and  money to learn this Song I would really appreciate if you would think about making a small donation (right sidebar menu button), in exchange I will send you this transcription in PDF or the scores of my original compositions.

Ho suonato e trascritto l'intera canzone incluso Intro e assolo di Chitarra che ho riarrangiato per Pianoforte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non ci sono molte difficoltà d'esecuzione. Forse solo un paio di cose da dire:&lt;br /&gt;1) nella ripetizione della seconda strofa e del ritornello (battute 6-31) ho improvvisato alcune modifiche, ad esempio nelle battute 11 e 12-13 (mano destra) oppure durante il secondo ritornello ho sonato diversamente il basso. Si tratta comunque solo di esempi. Ognuno può fare i cambiamenti che vuole, se vuole.&lt;br /&gt;2) Il ritornello è in 6/4 non in 4/4 quindi bisogna fare attenzione agli accenti quando lo si suona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si tratta di una trascrizione abbastanza grande (4 pagine), perciò se avete risparmiato tempo e denaro per imparare questo brano sarebbe bello se pensaste a fare una piccola donazione (menu in alto a destra) riceverete in cambio questa trascrizione in pdf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/please-forgive-me---bryan-adams/10856323" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_AStzsJSJPo/TxHv4Fgy76I/AAAAAAAABRI/akXVmU3COag/s1600/lulu-logo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/please-forgive-me---bryan-adams/10856323" target="_blank"&gt;Scarica&lt;/a&gt; la mia trascrizione in PDF di questa cover&lt;br /&gt;dal sito LULU o cerca altri &lt;a href="http://www.musicroom.com/Search/Find.aspx?searchtext=bryan+adams?kbid=4527" target="_blank"&gt;spartiti&lt;/a&gt; di Bryan Adams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;&lt;td align="center" width="80"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Anthology/4192505?aff_id=446433&amp;amp;aff_link=plg1"&gt;&lt;img alt="Anthology" height="80" src="http://assets.sheetmusicplus.com/product/060X080/4192505.gif" width="60" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/look_inside/4192505/image/201461?aff_id=446433&amp;amp;aff_link=plg1"&gt;&lt;img alt="Look Inside" class="look-inside" src="http://assets.sheetmusicplus.com/images/buttons/look_inside_2.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Anthology/4192505?aff_id=446433&amp;amp;aff_link=plg1"&gt;Anthology&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (P/V/G).

This is a mix of different live versions of this Song. The first part is similar to the late live versions, the final part instead, is the pretty the same version played in Alchemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The whole Cover is played in "crescendo"  &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZKjj9g62yM/TF6-DO5WwCI/AAAAAAAAA5k/lfwroLrzD4Y/s1600/crescendo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503044757440872482" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZKjj9g62yM/TF6-DO5WwCI/AAAAAAAAA5k/lfwroLrzD4Y/s200/crescendo.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 32px; width: 156px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; from first to last bar. So think about this if you try to learn this Song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I changed the chord progression of this song playing all the time this sequence:&lt;br /&gt;Dm (4/4) - Gm7 (4/4) - C (4/4) - Am7 (4/4)&lt;br /&gt;Dm (4/4) - Sb (4/4) - Csus4 (4/4) - C (4/4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will notice that the original one is:&lt;br /&gt;Dm (4/4) - Sb (4/4) - C (8/4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First thing to say: after the slow intro the right hand begins to play many notes (from bar n. 18). To avoid confusion put in evidence the notes of the melody. There is the stress symbol on them (below are also marked in red).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rZKjj9g62yM/TF6_k3Q6NgI/AAAAAAAAA58/h5ZP0qYk7TE/s1600/sultans1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503046434724394498" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rZKjj9g62yM/TF6_k3Q6NgI/AAAAAAAAA58/h5ZP0qYk7TE/s200/sultans1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 200px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 193px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It is possible to make some changes in the version I play, but please always remember that this is a Cover not a copy :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Example 1&lt;/span&gt; (episode starting form bar n.66):&lt;br /&gt;Mark Knopfler plays this part in different ways. Sometimes he omits the notes marked in red. You can do the same, in this case simply change the notes with a rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZKjj9g62yM/TF7ApwuHwyI/AAAAAAAAA6E/SXC_FbOGj04/s1600/sultans2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503047618378842914" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZKjj9g62yM/TF7ApwuHwyI/AAAAAAAAA6E/SXC_FbOGj04/s200/sultans2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 183px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Example 2&lt;/span&gt; (the final Guitar Solo that everybody knows):&lt;br /&gt;In the bars 107 and 111 you can chance the A with a Bb. This is like the original but I changed it because in that bars I also play Bb in octave with the left hand. Harmonically it does not sound very good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rZKjj9g62yM/TF7Cong1ySI/AAAAAAAAA6M/8uhle-XvoHo/s1600/sultans3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503049797750606114" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rZKjj9g62yM/TF7Cong1ySI/AAAAAAAAA6M/8uhle-XvoHo/s200/sultans3.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 122px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://sites.google.com/site/pianofeeling/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a big transcription (128 bars, 6 pages), so if you saved time and money to learn this Song with my work, please consider to make a donation (right sidebar menu button).

Si tratta della Cover per Pianoforte  Solo di "Sultans of Swing" dei Dire Straits. La mia versione è un mix di diverse versioni live di questa canzone. La prima parte rimanda alle versioni più recenti, la parte finale invece fa riferimento alla versione di Alchemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'intera Cover è suonata in "crescendo"  &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZKjj9g62yM/TF6-DO5WwCI/AAAAAAAAA5k/lfwroLrzD4Y/s1600/crescendo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503044757440872482" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rZKjj9g62yM/TF6-DO5WwCI/AAAAAAAAA5k/lfwroLrzD4Y/s200/crescendo.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 32px; width: 156px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; dalla prima all'ultima battuta. Chi desiderasse imparare a suonarla tenga bene in mente questo dettaglio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La sequenza di accordi che suono è leggermente diversa dall'originale:&lt;br /&gt;REm (4/4) - SOLm7 (4/4) - DO (4/4) - LAm7 (4/4)&lt;br /&gt;REm (4/4) - SIb (4/4) - DOsus4 (4/4) - DO (4/4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'originale è la seguente:&lt;br /&gt;REm (4/4) - SIb (4/4) - DO (8/4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prima cosa da sottolineare: dopo le prime battute la mano destra suona molte note (dalla battuta n. 18 in poi), in un mix di melodia e accompagnamento. Per evitare confusione ho messo gli accenti sulle note da evidenziare. In basso le ho segnate anche in rosso per agevolare la comprensione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rZKjj9g62yM/TF6_k3Q6NgI/AAAAAAAAA58/h5ZP0qYk7TE/s1600/sultans1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503046434724394498" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rZKjj9g62yM/TF6_k3Q6NgI/AAAAAAAAA58/h5ZP0qYk7TE/s200/sultans1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 200px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width:
