Nocturne in E-flat Major Empty Nocturne in E-flat Major

Post by Shouji Sun May 25, 2008 3:25 am

Couple things i'm wondering...

1) On bar 2 on the left hand where it shows the first flat sign on the triad C D A, would that flat on C be B, or B flat, because all b's in the piece are flat.

2) On bar 3, right hand, I have no idea what that symbol is! It kinda looks like ~, with a flat sign on top and says 4321.

Thank you! For some reason this piece seems really easy but is soooo difficult! I hate being a slow learner >_<

It would help to write the Name and composer but I think you are talking about Chopins Noctrne op 9 no 2???
Well, I started that aswell, but Im waiting a bit longer. Its a grade 7 piece. are you up for it??

Well, just try to listen(1) does it sound right? I think the c is a b. But now I cant remember how the sheets look like, but yeah. If its a Cb its a b.

Check out Andrews lesson(2) on thrills ++ He use that piece as an example! And covers your second question aswell Wink

I ran into another problem, on bar 32, on the treble clef, there seems to be 4 added flat signs.

Sorry for the blurry picture, my camera sucks Sad

What on earth does this mean?

BTW this song is coming along really well, I have the first page pretty well nailed down, definitely not as hard as Arabesque.

I got a better pic from My PianoBook! =)

It is a dobbelflat. It means that you should lower the note two semitones. So in this case this note is a A!!

Hbb = A

Why dont they just write an A instead of a Bflatflat?

Hmm, but B is already written as a flat in the time signature area, so wouldn't it be triple flat?

Well, considering that.. That is true I guess. Tripple flat then. Then it is a: Ab/G#

Yup Smile Its a bit confusing sometimes, I cant garantee you that I am right, but I think so. It is logical. So Im basing the logicality on the theory... Smile You can record that bar, and send it to me, and I can compare to the original and listen if it is correct. Or you mught be able to hear it yourselfe. That is the true answer right there Smile

It's always wise to listen to the original piece, so you have some clue about how it sounds.

So I asked on Yahoo answers, and I got this response.

No -- accidentals are not cumulative. Simply play a B double flat (enharmonically an A)

Enjoy
