Toto - Rosanna - Piano Cover

Some playing advice

  1. do not seat exactly at the center of the keyboard (at least when playing the verses), but a little on the left side because the right hand plays completely on the bass side.
  2. it is very important to play this song following the dynamics! If you, for example, listen to the chorus carefully, you will notice that the repetition is played alternately low and loud. All the indications like f, ff, p, pp, etc. are written down in my transcription.
  3. It was not easy to transcribe this song because it is played with a jazz feel. That means that two eights must be played as a triplet:
  4. I tried to write it in the standard way because I know that not everybody knows how to play jazz triplets. You must keep it in mind especially in the solo because it is impossible to transcribe it exactly, there are a lot of anticipated (or sometimes retarded) notes. 
  5. You can play the left hand in two different ways, choose the one you prefer. If you think that your left hand is a little "heavy" choose the second way because the bass notes are very low and could cover the right hand notes:
