TEXT: Rodgers and Hart [email protected] When improvising from about bar 133 I tried to focus on the chord tones with secondary passing/neighbouring tones and to have the improvised line resolve as much as possible from the 7th of each chord to the3rd MARKER: Whole Tone Scale - sustain pedal down MARKER: Beginning on 9th, surround the notes of CMaj7 chord MARKER: Diatonic 'Fourthy' chords MARKER: Simple phrase - moves down - uses C Major scale notes MARKER: Melody Harmonised in 6ths - easy in Key of C MARKER: Very Common descending phrase on G7 - contains all altered tones #9,b9,b13 MARKER: Arpeggiated accompaniment - using both hands in turn on each chord MARKER: Locked Hands style MARKER: Notes of C triad with 2 upper diatonic neighbours MARKER: Surround tones on 3rd of C7 then 3rd of FMaj7 MARKER: Notes of C Maj with 2 Lower diatonic neighbours

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.
