An Easy Arrangement for the Indermediate Pianist (~Grade 5)
Arrangement and performance by Henrik Kilhamn
Key: D major (Easy key) + version in Original key D-flat major also included.

This all-time piano classic was the conceptual seed for the Simple Solutions project. The first section is in the original quite manageable with slowly moving voices and chords, but then the animato section pushes the piece to a much higher level of difficulty. It is a straight-forward section musically, only distributed over a wide register that demands a lot of maneuvering of both hands and fingers. But the chords can be rearranged into one comfortable position per harmony, so that the music is much more easily accessible. It is a substantial piece with several different sections, and some of them require more reduction than others. I have decided to keep the right register of the melody at all times even though it is harder to handle distance between the hands, because it is an important factor of the piece.

ABOUT SIMPLE SOLUTIONS
This is for everyone who loves the great piano repertoire but haven’t (yet) developed the skill required to master it. After all, Beethoven, Chopin, and Debussy wrote music for professional musicians, and it takes many years of studies to achieve a level sufficient to play their pieces as written. However, the musical material can be separated into melody, harmony, rhythms, and textures, and in some cases simplified while preserving the core ideas. This is what I have done in these arrangements of some of the most beloved piano melodies by the great composers. In this easier setting, you will instead have enough time on your hands (literally!) to bring the music to life and care about those aspects that often otherwise come second: phrasing, articulation, dynamics, and balance. This will help you develop your over-all musicality, which will be of great value in all other pieces as well.

I believe you have the right to enjoy playing this great music with your own hands, even when the original writing is beyond your present level or would require too much time and effort. In the end, if you feel ready for a challenge and want to go forward with proper piano studies that requires years of practice—the originals are always there. In the meantime, these arrangements will bring you close to the same enjoyment, because all musical ideas are carefully conserved.

They are just a little bit easier.
