My sheets are posted here mainly for your convenience, in case you’d like to play or perform any of these (which you’re welcome and encouraged to do). However, my notation software is a little limiting, so keep these thigns in mind:

  • Octave shifts are NOT represented in standard form (e.g., “8va——”, etc.). Instead, the software places small 8s above the treble or bass clef indicating shifts. So, be sure to listen to my midi files for clarification if you’re playing something and it gets confusing.
  • Tremolos need to be notated using 32nd and/or 64th notes, which makes the sheet music look ungodly complicated. Ignore these things and just tremolo as best you can.
  • I don’t generally mark dynamics or pedaling for the purposes of this web site. But, these pieces certainly aren’t meant to be staccato — just pedal with normal discretion. (In almost all cases, pedaling notation was done to get a desired effect in the midi file, not to instruct the pianist.) Future posts with interpretations, either generated or hand-played, will indicate dynamics.
  • I often roll 10th chords, sometimes for style, sometimes because my hands simply won’t reach. When I definitely want a rolled / arpeggiated chord, I often notate that so that it comes through on the midi file. Other times, I just notate the 10th as is. I leave it up to you to roll or not to roll.
  • Feel free to improvise or diverge from the printed score, especially if it’s notated as a simple repeat. If a section is written out completely (e.g., all 32 bars instead of 16 and a repeat), it usually means whatever difference exists from the first 16 bars was viewed as important by me. But, again, I’d love to hear what other pianists would do with this material — whether it’s just playing it straight or really going nuts with it.
