The heart asks pleasure first

[chillout]

Just starting to learn this lovely piece.Ive got down to bar 7 and looking at the fingering for the left hand.
Can any body give me advice here if you look at bar 7 for the first beat on left hand  the notes are E,B,next E up and back down to D,B,E
I thought I might use 5,2,1,2,3,5  What do you suggest?

Also anybody who has mastered this piece how long did it take to learn up to speed.

Regards,
Daz

I just did 531235, but I also have a pretty good reach between my 5 and 3rd finger.  521235 would be fine too, if 53 is too much of a reach.

It took me a few months to get this piece up to speed, 2 and a bit roughly, but I also played that with about 5 other pieces around the same level. 

If this is the only piece you are practicing, and the patterns in left and right hands aren't posing too much problems (sometimes finger independence issues arise with some awkward patterns) then this piece should come along fairly quickly.

Page 3 is the most difficult part.

a random woman asked me to play this and said shed give me a kiss if i played it, in a music store.

she was randomly quite hot, and i declined, then i played some of it by ear as she walked away, she said 'you do know it, you just dont want a kiss!'

HAHAHAHAH RANDOMLY

[ada]

This is a lovely haunting piece and tremendous fun to play because you can really let loose. It is my signature piece 

Make sure you bring out the cross rhythms and Scottish lilt.

This sounds really corny but you can play the melody in time with your heart beat.

What is this piece?  I have never heard of it.

It is the main theme of the film The Piano. Now you probably know it and you must have heard it unwittingly hundreds of times ;-)

I would have been 8 or 9 when that movie came out then.  So no surprise I haven't heard it, or I've heard it and don't realize it.

Haha so true. It is a curse.

I just downloaded it.  It's pretty, but i've never heard it before today.  Why is it so popular?  It reminds me of Yanni.
