For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers. No fixed formulas, no “seasonal jazz” clichés — just strong pianistic voices working with familiar material. This year, the live concert is on pause. Here’s what changed, and where pianists can still turn for meaningful jazz piano Christmas listening and playing. Read more

Need help with Chopin

on: February 03, 2005, 04:34:14 PM

I have highlighted the bit im stuck on here https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v349/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/chopinagain.jpg

When theres a x Im under the impression that you go up a note, but do you go up again if the note should be a sharp?

Is this right?

x means a double sharp. You sharp the note and then you sharp it again. Ignore the key signature.

So in the left hand you have:

C double sharp = D natural
G double sharp = A natural

On the right hand you have:

F double sharp = G natural

Best wishes,
Bernhard.
