Marcia Alla Turca?

Well, the real question is, how is one supposed to play this piece? I can't seem to figure out the timing of the grace notes at the start, and then I can't figure out how my fingers are supposed to move between the three different "chords" (for loack of a better word). So, how does one play this, or should I find a simpler song to play and then work my way up there? Also, while we're on the topic of songs, does anyone know any fast classical piano songs that are in the "beginner" to "intermediate" level?

can you please post the music ? {sheet}
try checking out a performance on you tube

Here's a link to the sheets:

in lesson #22 Andrew describes it better than i can , it's just the same but you need to play both grace notes . listen to the link below

The fingering of the sheet music sucks.

Try:

4/2 5/1 instead of 4/2 5/3 it will be much more comfortable to play.

Then the scale on bar 2 and 3: 5/1 4/2 3/1 5/3 4/2 3/1

I hope it helps... About timing, watch a performance, the timing seems pretty natural to me, and difficult to describe: it's better to hear it or see it.

Good luck with that piece!

I tried that fingering, and it was A LOT easier to play...it wasn't consistent, but it's a good start...thanks! ^_^
