    CHOPIN

    Waltz in A minor
    This next piece is also quite easy once you analyse the chords and patterns.

    • The left hand plays the same chord progression Am, Dm G7, C four times
    • The first Left Hand note of each bar is the ROOT note of the chord that follows
    • The Right Hand very often uses a chord note at the start of each bar

    Try the Left Hand chord progression before you play hands together

    Notice how low the first A note is

    Am Dm (middle) G7 (no 5th) C (middle)

    A D G C

    Count 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3

    ALTERNATIVE LEFT HAND

    There is another really easy way to play the left hand of this piece if you can
    stretch your fingers far enough.

    Instead of using a STRIDE - ie hitting a bass note and then moving your hand up
    to play a chord - you use a broken chord which spans TEN notes. Try it!

    Am Dm G C
