Laufey: Nocturne - cover performance

I transcribed this version of Laufey's short piano piece by ear. There is free sheet music from the singer's own arranger; when I did this one, I didn't know about that. But there are a few more details in mine. It's available at www.musicnotes.com/l/H3tNb and remember, my licensing contract pays most of that download fee to the original artist!

I just love the way this is played... it makes me tear up more than the official recording on spotify!

[@klavierpoplieder]

Thanks so much!

[@klavierpoplieder]

Thanks for watching! This version was played and transcribed entirely by ear. I made this new spin-off channel for easy pop piano covers with great sheet music, so check back again if you're into that!

Ive been having trouble with measure 5 because i don’t understand how can i play f and a with both hands with different rhythm

[@damarmarlikescats]

Its im the sheet music she gave when she leaked all her songs and i was just wondering how do i play it

[@klavierpoplieder]

Notation is often based on the theoretical idea of what's in the accompaniment and what's in the melody, even if the two overlap. In this particular case, the arranger didn't bother separating the two. For that measure, you can leave those redundant notes out of the left hand and play them with the right hand, because that makes it easier to voice the melody line. Let me know if you need any more specific help at the piano 😊

@@klavierpoplieder Thank you very much ❤️ have a good day 🥰

Even though I follow her official sheet, the last part sounds a little bit off. Do you have your version of sheet ?

[@klavierpoplieder]

Yeah, her sheets are also just written by a hired arranger and some of the notation is ambiguous. My sheets for this have actually been downloaded by many people--see the video description for the link. As always, thanks for listening!

[@toefoomami]

Don't let this guy scam you out of $8 laufey released her sheet music for free!

[@klavierpoplieder]

For Nocturne, it does make sense to just get the sheets that get arranger created (I had no idea that she uploaded them when I did these by ear), although there are some details in my version that are more specific or just notated to be more playable.
But for the songs, my sheets are not the same instrumentation. Hers are piano-vocal sheets. My sheets put the entire song on the piano, melody and all. It totally changes how it's played.
Also, the licensing setup for my sheet music pays most of the download fee to the original singers.
Lastly, I've notated a lot more details from the recordings than what the free sheets offer. The intro of Bewitched, for example, emulates the orchestral textures in my sheet. I think if you had listened and compared, you'd see that.
Unfortunately your comment is very uninformed.
