SKU: A0.890137
Composed by Ignacy Jan Paderewski (1860–1941). Arranged by Andy Schmidt. Romantic Period. Score. 2 pages. Andy Schmidt #2861193. Published by Andy Schmidt (A0.890137).The wonderful classic by the renowned Polish composer. Another case of beautiful music that pianists might avoid because of the technical challenges involved. Don’t worry...we’re going to get through this! Paderewski, we love you, but your hands were just too big. Mélodie has lots of large intervals in the left hand that many pianists can’t play comfortably. But that’s no excuse to give up on a lovely piece of piano music, right?
My edition of this piece features helpful fingerings and grayed-out noteheads indicating which notes can be avoided. I’ve also highlighted some places where the right hand can reach down and play the highest note of some of these large chords, with the goal of being faithful to Paderewski’s intentions whenever possible. These places are indicated by my exclusive, ground-breaking "green notehead technology," which is frequently seen in my other editions.
