Get into the groovy rhythms of On The Run, a funky piano solo in E minor for established beginner pianists at about the Grade 2-3 level (ABRSM).
The right hand opening melody is based upon a bluesy semiquaver motif accompanied by a left hand bass figure. Once you've got the basic idea of the opening sections, try introducing the staccato and legato articulations which will help to emphasise the funky rhythms.
The sustain pedal is used at the end of each 'head' section and for the ending. To begin with, you could try playing the Ab major arpeggio slowly in the right hand with the sustain pedal pressed down. Enjoy the 'ringing' effect that this pattern produces.
Bars 14-26 feature a repeated improvisation section with suggested notes that you could use. Here are some ideas which will help you to improvise with the play-along backing track:
This piano sheet music comes with three MP3 audio tracks:
On The Run is an exciting piece to play at a recital. Once you're confident enough and can play the piece through with the backing track, why not ask your piano teacher to encourage the audience to clap along for the final D.C. repeat!
