By Elton John. By Bernie Taupin and Elton John. Arranged by Martyn Clive Johnson (aka Martycli Piano Guy). 20th Century,Contemporary,Jazz,Pop,Ragtime. Score. 9 pages. Martyn Johnson #1008995. Published by Martyn Johnson (A0.1428166).This is one of my favourite Elton John tunes. I'm also a big fan of the music of Scott Joplin and thought it would be interesting to play Elton John's 'Daniel' in a ragtime style. I have actually used techniques that were post Joplin but it still has a strong ragtime feel and is a lot of fun to play.
I have taken it through the keys of C major and Db major. There are a number of tenths in the left hand. These may be difficult for those with smaller hands but they can be rolled or replaced with a single root note or octave.
I don't include dynamics, fingering or pedal markings and prefer to leave these to the discretion of the individual pianist as no two piano teachers can agree on this.
I like to give the notes to the reader as simply as possible and another shortcut I often use is to write for example quavers/eight notes even when the notes should be longer. This makes it easier to read than so many voicings, rests and different note durations. The player can instinctively tell which notes should be held longer. You should therefore find my music very accessible.
I hope you have as much fun learning and playing this tune as I had arranging it!
