Can someone tell me what the piano is doing at bars 28-31 inc and 36-39 inc is doing please? Also, I know that it is a syncopated um-chink-chink thing, but what is the exact rhythm? The syncopation was confusing me

The music teacher at my college has the piano part for practicing but keeps telling me that the I am either finishing the trill too early or too late, so for things like
this, I write the piano rhythm under what I've got.

Thanks

a "syncopated um chink chink thing"




I'm in hysterics again

Thanks very much

I don't know how to describe it properly.

Hi Helen,

It's boom ching rest ching under each of those bars, where boom is a bass note in octaves and ching is a three-part chord. All quavers.

NB It's not synocopated, and is exactly the same rhythm as all the previous bars.

Sooo does that mean at bar 31 coming off the trill... I will hear the boom ching and then I play the semiquavers?

Sorry, I'm a bit stupid like this.

Do you want to see a copy of the piano part?

I sent her the first page!!

That was nice of you.
You should be in bed by now

Well, I was going to be in bed 15 mins ago, when I found somebody had trod on the card I made. Then I thought I would just check my email...

I'll let you off then!

Ooooh dangerous!

Yes - you start your semiquavers during the piano's quaver rest.

If you had smartmusic Helen, you could practise with the accompaniment

Thanks

Andy-p-:I don't 'coz it's expensive

Then I realised that what is on the first page of the flute part isn't neccessarily on the first page of the score

I know it is - I wouldn't/couldn't have got it at full price but I got it at the reduced price through the ABRSM & justified it by thinking of it as the equivalent of a couple of pieces of music (or several bottles of wine )

Fair enough

Can't someone tape it for you - so you can listen to it & work out how it fits together?

Doing it in the recital today! Eeek!

Good luck!

Good luck, Helen

Hope it goes well!

You'll be fine Helen!

Hope it went well

I think it went ok. It went better than in the rehearsals timing wise, but the dynamics weren't very good...

woo well done

When do you find out how you did?

Erm... when the teacher gets round to listening to them again and marking them!
