Sorayia - by Christos Rafalides
Here's a chord study on Darn That Dream. I left the pedal markings off and the chords. First, you guys know I think you should write in each chord and check out the alterations. As for the pedal, it's common sense with these sorts of etudes. As well as the dampening and pedaling. As my mother used to say to me about things.... "You're a big boy, you can do it". If you're tackling and etude like this, you know how to pedal.
Recorded last night (4.17.13) at Temple University in Philadelphia
Hi Everyone,
Here we are again.
Still working on it.
I call it the 66 take, because the metronome is at 66. I should be a little faster(I'm going for 72).
In this take, I'm even running at the end. I was aware of it while playing, but I was so 'into' it I couldn't slow myself down.
This is not at all a great version, but I think I'm improving. (can you say that about yourself ?)
