Here's my version of Waltz New - a contrafact of Someday My Prince Will Come

'Andrea's Piece' for Solo Vibraphone was composed in April 2025 by Franz Bauer. 

Here's another sort of technique. I just call this Bill Evans Style. I'm sure all pianists do it but I noticed it listening to him. 

This is to accompany the etude I posted. But I'll also include the etude here as well. 

Oliver recently did a lesson on playing Misty solo for beginners. It's great lesson!

Meanwhile, I bought the application Staffpad for the Ipad. Where you can write your music using a Apple Pencil. That's what I like about the Ipad, it's that I can write notes and things. I miss that. 

However learning Staffpad is a pain in the is. So I've been writing out tunes that I know like Donna Lee, and here is a solo vibe version of Misty. 

Any notation problems, let me know. I didn't get to pedaling or dampening, but most of you can figure that out. 

I always say we spend most of our time playing alone! 

Ok, there's a lot here. Check it out. Some choruses are easier than others. So grab what works for you. 

I put in the chords for the first chorus. You do the same for the rest. Here are things you should do.
