TEXT: Alex Kramer and Joan Whitney TEXT: This is a really nice melody - lots of opportunity for sparse playing - and also of whole tone stuff, fourthy chord voicings, to try to echo the 'far away' title. Nice words too! MARKER: On turnaround, a series of 2nd inversion triads on a C pedal (Db,D,Eb,E) to F MARKER: 'Wholetone' chord clusters (B,C#,D#,F,G) over the Db7#11 MARKER: More wholetone type devices - augmented triads descend in wholetones MARKER: 2nd inversion triads ascend chromatically - from dominant (C) - over C pedal tone in bass MARKER: On EbMaj7, 4th arpeggio (C,F,Bb) in RH over sustained Rb in Bass

Instructions
If you have a Bluetooth-MIDI adapter installed in your Disklavier and are using an app (such as PianoStream), you can stream these MIDI files right from your Apple device to your piano.
Otherwise, you can put them on a USB stick. Files will be playable natively on newer Disklaviers, such as the Mark IV, E3, and ENSPIRE. You can see my Disklavier compatibility table to see which instruments support USB.
For older generations of Disklavier using floppy disks or Nalbantov USB emulators, see my article on converting MIDI files to E-SEQ and creating PIANODIR.FIL.
