Hi and welcome to piano lesson #16 and this lesson, I will be showing you all about more of technical aspect of music, that we like to call “Ornaments” and you would not find this until maybe grade, if you stick some little bits of pieces of these and grade 1, 2, maybe 3, well probably not until grade 3. Otherwise, when you start seeing the Ornaments and then, they come more and more and when you get into the high grades.
So, a lot of people get confused with these, that is why I am making and addressing these and hopefully to create a little bit confusion so, I am going to start by showing you turns,
No, I think I will start with trills then turns and then probably like extended trills and like grace notes. So, they are not really not too hard, I think you guys would finally say and not to understand what I am saying just explaining to you.
So, I will look to all my music and then try to find the piece that has it, pretty much all of these aspects putting to one and then I found the actual my favorite pieces, the knock-turn in Eb Major. Yes, by Frederick Showpen, Opus 9 #2 so you might want to look that up. It is really famous piece.
Anyway, okay so, I will show you.
The first thing we have to look at, this little baby at here. Now if you can see that,
(Pointing at “tr” note)
See that little “tr” there, that is stands for Trill. With that means is basically, it is an unwritten version of A’s of regular Trill. The “tr” and let us if I can find another one,
Okay, right here. See right there?
It’s got a little zig-zaggy side ways lightning little thing? That another way of writing a Trill.
So basically what a Trill is, if they write a Trill over these note, the Trill is going to last for that length of time so, one quarter, dotted quarter note long. And here, it is only written under this one,
(Pointing on a note)
So, this would be a 16th note so for only one 16th thing, you got a little Trill. So this Trill here would sound like,
(Piano Demo)
So, it would be like,
(Piano Demo)
That is how this would go. So, how a Trill works is basically, you start on the upper notes so it is sound like,
Okay, so this is an F right here so it would be G, F, G, F and now, it would be a Trill or, you can play it, that is sturdy on the note above or you can start it on the note so, you can go F, G, F. And, they always go above so, that little Trill there would look like this,
(Piano Demo)
Just play the Trill.
(Piano Demo)
So, that is a Trill. And now an extended Trill, this is kind of a normal length Trill right here. Now, this is going to go for a bit longer time because it is a dotted quarter note so basically, for a one quarter note, dotted quarter note length, you could be playing this note, this note and this note.
And, in that time, you going to play the
(Piano Demo)
2 and the 3 dot,
(Piano Demo)
And 4th and 4th, back and forth, back and forth, I like a teacher thought or I do not know, it reminds me of a butterfly sometimes, just kind of,
(Piano Demo)
Just got learn so, now, as you see here, these two little babies in here. Now if you notice, these things are a lot smaller than this.
(Demo)
So these are bigger so what these are, the small little notes, so see, here is another small little note here? These are called Grace Notes or some people called them, I can not remember it.
Those are called Grace Notes. Basically, think of them as notes so do not really,
They are really quick notes that are added. So you will see, the Trill here, so you are going along. F, G, F, G, F, G, F, G, and then, so once you played,
(Piano Demo)
You got a lot to come out of it,
(Piano Demo)
So you go back and forth,
(Piano Demo)
And then once you get to your spot, they have written in a little thing to
(Piano Demo)
So,
(Piano Demo)
F, G, F, G, so, you will go F, G, F, G, F
(Piano Demo)
And then C here when you get to hear, that is going to go,
(Piano Demo)
And then,
(Piano Demo)
(Voice Demo)
And the icon sign.
