Playing Classical Music Measures 13-15 in D Major

Video Transcript

"So now we're starting on our first system in the second page. It starts right here with this A, and then you have a B sharp. Now, B, doesn't have a black note above it, so that B sharp is actually a C. So we'll go through and look at that when you see my hands playing, so just notate it, but that's a sharp six, so we're going to be playing D sharp. So, we have A, C, or five, sharp six, then you have your three, five, and then you have a sharp one, which is that D sharp right here, D sharp. So Bach's taking a little out, then he goes back in and he plays this four, two, six, and then on the right hand you have one, so four, six, two, five, two. Then you have this four to sharp five, taking it out again. Then on the right hand you have two, five, or two, four, seven. So now we've got to the second page, Bach's starting to experiment with some more in-depth chords, going a little out of the key, so now we're going to go through and show you what it looks like as I play it. Remember the first note has that B sharp, so here's your D, here's your B sharp, so it's really a C, so don't let that confuse you. And that comes up every now and then when you're sight reading. So, you have five, sharp six, three, and five, sharp one, which goes to four, six, two, six, and two. Then we take it back out to four, sharp five and you have two, four, and seven. So those are some nice cool chords that go outside of D major. So now you know how to sight read though and notice and take these extra sharps and apply them to your playing."
