I think it's probably my favorite song to play as it's so reflective and gorgeous. Does anybody out there have an opinion on this 'G susp' chord voicing? I don't know though it still doesn't quite sound the some as the beautiful chord that Bill Evans plays. My ear tells me this is closer to the chord I hear on the recording. I go ahead and use this most of the time but occasionally I use 'FGAC' in a lower inversion. However the next chord the book shows the 'G susp' chord as 'GACF'. Now, the first note left hand note is of course the low 'C' followed by the Maj7 chord voiced as 'BCE'. I have a question concerning the 'G susp' chord. Even if simplified, the last few pages of this arrangement aren't going very smoothly for me, so maybe I'll wing it a bit and play the parts I can and make up the rest using your guidelines. I am not much of an improviser (= not at all), but your hints give me courage to start. :pĭoug, thank you so much for your helpful suggestion sheet. At any rate, I'm very pleased with the arrangement so far, except the lack of pedalling information. I think the simplifying comes toward the end. I've gotten the first 4 pages pretty much down, and it sounds very close (so far) to the original recording. So I'm happy to get a somewhat simplified version to start with. This is the first jazz piece I've ever attempted, and the original "Peace Piece" has some pretty tricky stuff going on toward the end that I don't think I'm up to. When you read the reviews, you'll see a couple of critical ones saying that it's not a note for note transcription of Evans's work. (Laverne was one of Evans's students.) Here's the link: Mmmmmaestro, the book I'm using is called "Bill Evans - 19 arrangements for solo piano" by Bill Evans and Andy Laverne. Ritincop, I wasn't pedalling on that 3rd beat, so now you've given me something to try. You know, the thing that is so fantastic about this forum is that you can write a question on just about anything and get tons of helpful feedback. Use appogiatura – (non scale tones that occur on a strong beat – and resolve by ½ step to a chord tone.) Transpose the Left hand into another key and play 8/16 bars in a totally different key – maybe to a key that is up or down from the original key by a semitone (to Db), or a minor 3rd (to Eb).ĥ. Try to finish on a ‘strong’ note – the root, 3rd or 5th.ģ.ěriefly move the melody to another key - try G Major – which will give the melody a lydian sound.Ĥ.
