Con Te Partiro (Time to Say Goodbye)

Con Te Partiro (Time to Say Goodbye) Advanced Piano Solo

Sheet music is available here: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/...

Music and Lyrics by Francesco Sartori and Lucio Quarantotto. This piece was made famous by Andrea Bocelli and is arranged for advanced pianists by arranger Elena Fortin.

This 5 page arrangement is written in the key of D major, with a modulation to the key of A major towards the end of the song. The piece is a beautiful, expressive one and should always be played cantabile (in a singing style).

The arrangement explores sweeping arpeggios in the left hand, full chordal textures, rhythm figures of three notes vs. four notes or two notes, and is written in a classical style.

Book authors often comment to say that sometimes the characters in their books do the unexpected. I could say the same about this piece! I intended it to be a romantic-style interpretation, but with world events being what they are--the ending asserted itself in a Tchaikovsky-piano-concerto-like style... The ending is full of power and hope.

The pieces I have been choosing to arrange and work on are ones that I consider to be timeless, have deep meaning, and are filled with hope.
