Le Onde - Ludovico Einaudi

[gurveer_saggu]

Hi !

Does anyone have an instructional video on how to play this piece 'Le Onde' by Ludovico Einaudi?

I am struggling to play this piece well and if anyone can upload a video I will be eternally grateful!

I have the sheet music but cannot play this piece well (or at all!)

Hi!

I love this piece, play it all the time, and have seen Einaudi himself in concert. I don't know of any instructional videos though. What do you have trouble with?

[gurveer_saggu]

Okay! In the beginning part (Andante Con Moto) I play the on the ivory keys:
GDGCDF GDGCDF EBGCDF FCGCDF

But when I listen to the actual piece it sounds nothing like my performance... the problem arises when I start the piece when playing GDG left handed in a slur, whilst simultaneously playing DFCEAD - I'm not certain my piece is accurate because I play it entirely on the ivory keys and and do not know whether to use the ebony keys...

I've heard this piece and really want to be able to play it...but can't seem to get the 'backbone' of the piece fluently. Finally I'm not very good at incorporating the D major scale into the entire piece, in particular not sure when executing the sharps...

I want to be able to fluently play the first page of the piece from the Le Onde book.

Please help!!!
Thank you!!!

The very beginning of the piece starts B F# B C# D F# ..do you have music or are you doing it by ear from a recording?

I'm a beginner and have heard this peice played and it is really inspiring!!
I am aware that this piece is for slightly advanced players, but I still want to attempt to play parts of it...

Yes, I have obtained a copy of the book, but am having difficulty interpreting notes which are plyaed as sharps...

Well the key signature has two sharps, so they would be F sharp and C sharp  .

I've bought this piece from musicnotes for about £3 (make sure you get the 8 page version)

C and F are # pretty much throughout apart from a couple of places.

just go on youtube and put "le onde tutorial" and you will find what you need. I would urge you to use this opportunity to start learning to read music.
