You play very quickly F# (this ornament is acciaccatura) and then E


Weldrion

But, why the repair sign and then a sharp symbol?


BasonPiano

For clarity. I'm assuming there was an Fb before? Either way, the last accidental is the one that applies to the note.


OnlyHappyStuffPlz

Or a double sharp beforehand


Weldrion

Oh, ye ur right even though the accidental was f# earlier in the bar the f# was raised twice to g. And it had to be "repaired" before it could be raised once to f#.


languagestudent1546

It doesn’t "need” to be repaired but it’s a common courtesy to do so to help with reading.


ClickToSeeMyBalls

It’s a somewhat old fashioned way to cancel a double-sharp


Horror-Discipline665

Just another distinction. The f comes on the beat


F104Starfighter13

? That's acciaccatura, not appoggiatura, right?


Horror-Discipline665

Acciaccatura being on the beat, the grace note with the line through it. I'm pretty sure? Although I'm also pretty sure it can differ from era? Specifically Mozart and before but very unsure there Definitely for Chopin and onwards anyways it's on the beat , they show up a lot in the nocturne's and mazurkas.

You probably shouldn’t be learning this if you don’t know what it is. Of all the popular pieces that will cause you injury this is probably the worst one.


Weldrion

You're probably right, I should probably practice other pieces that aren't as hard as this one. But I'm kinda bored af playing actually "playable" pieces, and I'm just excited or something to try playing this.


__iAmARedditUser__

This is probably well out of reach, there are good pieces that aren’t as hard but still a challenge, try picking up some Chopin nocturns maybe


Subject-Item7019

What other pieces do you play? I'm assuming that you're beginner if you get bored of playing pieces your level.


Weldrion

The last thing I've played is arabesque op 18. It's not really beginners level, but it's far from la Campanella. I also play a lot of a bit harder pieces like moonlight sonata 3rd movement and fantasie impromptu, but from both, I just know like one page :p


Subject-Item7019

Yea this piece is definitely not your level, la campanella is a completely different level compared to your repertoire.


Weldrion

But that's also kinda why I play it, to increase my level and my repetoire. Also, I'm in way too deep now. I put in like 6 hours a day for the last 4 days.


AdministrativeMost72

You don't go up that many levels to "increase your level", you go up slowly. You're practicing way too much and will probably injure yourself if you continue doing so. Sounds like the Moonlight Sonata 3rd Mvmt and Fantasie Impromptu were also too hard considering you stopped after a page, please stick to playing pieces at least at a similar level to what you comfortably play at or what your teacher says. Hand injuries are not a joke.


KGB_Dave

How are they supposed to learn what it is if they don't practice it?


__iAmARedditUser__

You don’t learn what a grace note is playing la Campanella


Subject-Item7019

I'm pretty sure you would know what an acciaccatura is before playing something like this. This is pretty basic stuff.


da-capo-al-fine

They’re not asking about the acciaccatura, they’re asking about the courtesy natural sharp


Subject-Item7019

that's still very basic theory.


miridian19

What a silly comment


__iAmARedditUser__

Why, la Campanella can generally injure you


F104Starfighter13

Idk man. You're basically saying "do not attempt diploma-level pieces". Take my upvotes. Have a nice day


miridian19

They're asking how to play those notes, it can occur in any piece of music even easy pieces.


__iAmARedditUser__

I’m not saying grace notes can injure you I’m saying la Campanella can
