TEXT: [email protected] TEXT: Usually played either in C or Eb - I have modulated fairly freely between these (and Gb) in the introduction before playing in tempo and staying in Eb. The First 8 Bars are often thought of as 'slash' chords - a series of triads over, in this case Eb Ba MARKER: Last 16 bars of the song played freely MARKER: Black note glissando with sus pedal down on GbMaj7/Eb MARKER: Modulating from Eb to C MARKER: G13 MARKER: Becomes G phrygian (i.e. an Eb scale is used over a G bass note) MARKER: Diatonic chords from Eb Major over G Bass (i.e. G phrygian) - note no accidentals. MARKER: Abrupt change to C Major (Lydian) MARKER: E Phrygian MARKER: Abruptly to Gb Lydian MARKER: To Bb7sus MARKER: To Bb7b9 MARKER: Left H plays Ab and Bb, R Hand plays B,D,E,G MARKER: Trio starts - I tried to play in the style of Chick Corea/Keith Jarrett trios with lots of space MARKER: On bars 1-7 and bars 17-21 I mainly thought of triads with neighbour tones. MARKER: Gb/Eb - triad arpeggio with some neighbour tones MARKER: F/Eb - F triad used MARKER: E/F MARKER: Eb - simple triad with neighbour/or passing tones. MARKER: Anticipates key change to Gb coming in next bar MARKER: Up Gb Scale in rhythm based on 16th triplets. MARKER: One note repeated in some sort of rhythm MARKER: More little melodic figures based on triads (Eb) MARKER: Scale fragment played in thirds - over Am7b5 D7alt MARKER: More melodic figures based on triads MARKER: Playing very lightly - no pedalling MARKER: On Eb a little repeating figure on 5th and lower neighbour is developed with another tone above that changes as the chords change MARKER: G is lowered to Gb in figure MARKER: Lower note A is 3rd of F MARKER: A new melodic figure also based on triads MARKER: Figure is developed with notes changed to fit the new triads as trhey arrive MARKER: On Dm7b5 fast Eb scale up to G as target tone arriving right on beat 3 for the G7 chord MARKER: Very rapid downward arpeggiated chords

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.
