About “This Empty Place”
- Why does the accompaniment for "This Empty Place" show falling notes?

- What key is the piano accompaniment for "This Empty Place" by Dionne Warwick in?
- The backing track is in Eb at 120 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.

- Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
