TEXT: [email protected]. This was a favourite of Bill Evans - I tried to capture some of the feel of his playing - bass and drums especially on the slow middle chorus play very freely - as a kind of counterpoint to the piano. One other 'trademark' sound MARKER: Solo piano - rubato - last 16 bars MARKER: Bass and Drums in MARKER: Chord is ever so slightly 'rolled' from the top down - one of Bill Evans' trademark sounds MARKER: More Bill Evans type playing of chords - the 2 notes (6ths) are not played at the same time - the lower one is played very slightly after the upper one MARKER: Another downward 'roll' of the chord MARKER: Double time MARKER: This phrase is a descending arpeggio - 2nd inversion triad (C Maj) with an upper neighbour (F) MARKER: On C7, an ascending diminished scale with a 'flourish' at the beginning using neighbouring tones on the 5th and 7th MARKER: Same 2nd inversion C Maj triad with upper neighbour F as before MARKER: 6 rhythm of the melody against 4

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.
