Hi Ms. Francesca. I have been looking for this piece for a very long time . I would like to say thank you so very much for sharing this and for the free sheet music !! Best of wishes always Teddy
I’ve always wanted to lean this piece, and just got a keyboard so googled it, and there you were. Excellent, excellent tutorial. I am a beginner, so worked with you thru the first two staves, realized I’m way over my head, so now downloading your beginner course e-book, and will go back to the drawing board to get some basics. I’ve gone through a couple of your beginner videos which are excellent as well. Thank you so much for all your dedicated hard work in providing these bitesize bits of musical education. Will be one of your first customers when you bring the “course” to video as well. Many thanks from Santa Fe New Mexico.
I've learned Chopin 'Suffocation' still a bit rough in the tough part, but now need to move on to learn this beautiful piece. Your tutorials make the learning smoother and make much more sense. Thank you. God bless.
I wouldn't agree more. This teacher is exceptional. She makes learning difficult stuff the easiest thing in the world. I'm now playing Classical music thanks to her.

One of my favourites, and one of the earliest pieces I learned. When I play the second half, I sometimes play the melody line in bars 44 - 47 and bars 52 - 55 an octave higher (F#6). It's not as written - but I rather like that small variation. It sounds nice on a digital keyboard if you layer strings under the piano voice, or use a different voice for just those bars for the notes A6 and above.
Hii, could please explain how to properly read the sheet music(which note must be played with which hand) or drop a link to the relative theory? That would be fantastic. Thanksss
Good afternoon Francesca. Very grateful for your efforts in producing these videos. Thank you. With this, and any similar pieces, I really struggle to get my left hand to play the chords while the right is playing the melody! Any advice? My body seems to be in the way, my left wrist is bent, and getting my fingers on the small gaps accurately is IMPOSSIBLE!!! I'm a fairly chunky 54 year old male. Not the most delicate of students. 😳
The doted minin (E) on bar 19 around (6:49) is tied 3 times and count for 9 beats and you said 12 beats, was it a technical error from you or there's something I don't understand as a grade 1 student 😁
Beautiful!!! I’m familiar with this song......But not sure from where (possibly a 🍿 movie). (Nice to know what the Title is). Thank you for this tutorial!😀.
I have a question, why when the left hand need to play the right notes and vice versa, there’s no sign on the paper? I’m still beginner And is the song need to use pedal ? Thanks
@@BitesizePiano no i’m not that beginner, i have played for 1 year, and i consider this song very easy actually...but i lack theory as i don’t have tutor.
How exactly would the note still continue after you put your finger off the key? There's no mention of any pedal usage, so either I am missing something or this explanation is very much incomplete.
@@ATZ09ful pedal for sure, normally the pedal breaks are indicated by ped on the score but I think here it’s p (like at 7:35 for example, below the bottom staff on the right)
There are mistakes the second time you play the fifth stave (from 15:00 ): first chord and then starting the melody. Anyway, thank you very much for your great video.
Thank you ma'am. Would appreciate if you could tell how you use one half of the screen for displaying sheet music? That also line by line (section by section) ? What is the software/app that you're using for it?
I have never played piano.I love this piece of music, I want to play it. I do not want to die without play at leas one single piece in piano. Do you think that I can do it?
Great tutorial, especially the part when you mention missing notes from big chords, very useful. It's just missing the advice on when to lift the pedal.
I know! My sheet music is an urtext addition, which is split cords across the treble and bass, it was doing my head in, I couldn’t figure it out at all. But as soon as I saw this demo I could play the whole first page and a half no problem. Trying to figure out which hand should be doing which notes was impossible previously. This was very helpful.
Sorry but I’m a bit new into sheet reading, no matter how I try but I can’t understand why you play flat and sharp notes when in the lines above there’s no “#” o some mark that say to play it Can someone explain it to me? Thanks :)
If you’re new to reading sheet music then you shouldn’t be trying to learn this piece. Sharps, flats and natural signs are carried through the rest of the bar for that note.
Ha ha, when the instructor says it's confusing the way it goes from the top of one key to the bottom of another, lol. Like, i know what a key is in this context 😂 but yeah, this seems like a fairly challenging but doable second piece to learn. I've played a lotta scales to chase the insomnia away lately, and what is this 2 cord shapes and a melody? Shouldn't take more than a couple weeks to get to playing it at least note accurate.
Can anyone help me figure out if this is playable on a 61-key keyboard? I seem to run out of keys by the fifth measure and I'd really like to learn this piece in it's entirety please someone drop me a line 🥺
I am just learning it on 61-key keyboard, but I must use octave shift feature, and lower the keyboard for one octave. So, it is possible if you have octave shift feature. But it is a bit confusing, because middle C moves to the right.
Do you just have to accept that the low dotted half notes are impossible to play while the melody is playing? Sounds like maybe you're using the sustain pedal for the first beat of each measure..
Cause of the key signature…I think you’re referring to bar 9. The left hand plays the chord in bar 8, but for some reason I don’t play it when I’m explaining the left hand…I can see why you are confused 😬
@Bitesize Piano Thank you for taking time on a Sunday to reply 😊 Im sort of happy I was confused because it means Im learning. Love your videos and have learned so much from watching them..

@@BitesizePiano but could you please say why the chords for left hand appear in the violin key? thank you,

Also me: confidently plays Gymnopedie with all the wrong notes and timing
Thanks for the tutorial! I know the whole thing now, it's just a matter of practice to get it all flowing.
Brilliant!!!!! Subbed!
Thank you for this. I can finally practiceeee

Cảm ơn nhiều!!!.

Beautiful and timelless👍🇳🇿
Hello ! Why don’t you hold down F# in bars 9-12 as written in the scores ? Is it to simplify playing ? Thanks, Ronnie
I guess yeah. The F# is also replayed within the chord
@@BitesizePiano That’s one of the confusing parts, I need to sort it out. I’ll ask my daughters piano teacher, she has a class tomorrow
@@yams900 well I'm also an actual piano teacher. You hold the F# between replaying it with the chord.
Beautiful! Thank you :D
Thank you. What’s the fingering for the left hand when playing BDF# ?
You could copy which fingers I use?
@@BitesizePiano I couldn't see clearly for the BDF#.
Hi, thank you soo much, I really enjoyed it. where can I find the sheetmusic? The link is not working (I get a blanc page)
.
Looking for the sheet music 4 Sete Gymnopedia.
I have a question, why when the left hand need to play the right notes and vice versa, there’s no sign on the paper?
I’m still beginner
And is the song need to use pedal ?
Thanks
I wouldn't start learning this if you're a beginner
@@BitesizePiano no i’m not that beginner, i have played for 1 year, and i consider this song very easy actually...but i lack theory as i don’t have tutor.
Ya I think you need pedal to sustain the left hand notes otherwise it wouldn’t be possible to play.
@@rainakumar2734 sorry i just noticed your comment, thanks, this really helpful
How exactly would the note still continue after you put your finger off the key? There's no mention of any pedal usage, so either I am missing something or this explanation is very much incomplete.
@@ATZ09ful pedal for sure, normally the pedal breaks are indicated by ped on the score but I think here it’s p (like at 7:35 for example, below the bottom staff on the right)
bonjour merci pour ce tuto est il possible d'avoir le pdf merci par avance cdft
I would really LOVE to know how to teach my fingers sufficiently to be able to play a 4 note chord.
There are mistakes the second time you play the fifth stave (from 15:00 ): first chord and then starting the melody. Anyway, thank you very much for your great video.
Whoops! Not sure why I did that, probably remembered it wrong - at least I play it correctly in the play through at the end 👍🏻
@@BitesizePiano Maybe you could add some warning with RUclips software, without fixing the original video.
I am unable to find the sheet music
Thank you ma'am. Would appreciate if you could tell how you use one half of the screen for displaying sheet music? That also line by line (section by section) ? What is the software/app that you're using for it?

Great tutorial, especially the part when you mention missing notes from big chords, very useful.
It's just missing the advice on when to lift the pedal.
Not everyone has a pedal which is why I don't usually mention it. I have a separate tutorial on how to use the pedals
@@BitesizePiano agreed, however this tune would sound pretty weird without a sustain pedal!
Great tutorial nonetheless :)
Why are the cords for the left hand in the treble ledger? (The first line)
I know! My sheet music is an urtext addition, which is split cords across the treble and bass, it was doing my head in, I couldn’t figure it out at all. But as soon as I saw this demo I could play the whole first page and a half no problem. Trying to figure out which hand should be doing which notes was impossible previously. This was very helpful.
Please do a tutorial for the rest of the song
...this is the entire piece.
@@BitesizePiano oh yeah!!! Thanks! Didn’t watch the entire thing earlier just skipped to the end
@@BitesizePiano lmfao
sheet music link broken
The sheet music is easily found elsewhere
Can you also please teach us to follow staff notation on the screen madam!
I have an entire course on that: bitesizepianocourse.co.uk
Where are all of these sharp notes coming from? How can you tell they’re sharp without your symbol? Specifically in pt 1
The key signature...
Sorry but I’m a bit new into sheet reading, no matter how I try but I can’t understand why you play flat and sharp notes when in the lines above there’s no “#” o some mark that say to play it
Can someone explain it to me?
Thanks :)
If you’re new to reading sheet music then you shouldn’t be trying to learn this piece. Sharps, flats and natural signs are carried through the rest of the bar for that note.
I don’t see how to get the sheet music.
Omg, I can’t make my left hand fingers do the BDF# or AC#F# chords. It’s super awkward and painful. Help! ☹️
Can you do Chicken Satay ?
Ha ha, when the instructor says it's confusing the way it goes from the top of one key to the bottom of another, lol. Like, i know what a key is in this context 😂 but yeah, this seems like a fairly challenging but doable second piece to learn.

2) 4.50
Please do the big bang theory theme song
May you do the gnossiene next ? Make more classical uploads pls
Have you seen my entire classical tutorials playlist? It's linked in the description!

The E on bar 19 around 6:
Can anyone help me figure out if this is playable on a 61-key keyboard? I seem to run out of keys by the fifth measure and I'd really like to learn this piece in it's entirety please someone drop me a line 🥺
I am just learning it on 61-key keyboard, but I must use octave shift feature, and lower the keyboard for one octave. So, it is possible if you have octave shift feature. But it is a bit confusing, because middle C moves to the right.
I havent got a low "A" and "B" on my piano keyboard.
I did it, today…. So good less, thanks
😍
11:53 (for later)
becomes watchable on 1.5x))
Watchable?
Do you just have to accept that the low dotted half notes are impossible to play while the melody is playing? Sounds like maybe you're using the sustain pedal for the first beat of each measure..
There is literally no way for me to hit those 4 note chords without hitting another 2/3 notes by mistake :(
It seem easy when you play it... I am not even try it...
whäöck
?
I'm eleven minutes in and I'm seriously wondering whether I ought to reconsider my decision not to bother learning to read music ... 🤔
For pianists, I feel not learning how to understand notation can be quite limiting!
im lost on bar 8. why do you play f sharp ?
Cause of the key signature…I think you’re referring to bar 9.
The left hand plays the chord in bar 8, but for some reason I don’t play it when I’m explaining the left hand…I can see why you are confused 😬
@@BitesizePiano when I watch your video you seem to play a note that's not on the sheet music 🤔
