Our Last Summer — Classic Piano Sheet Music
6 people have learned this song
Read "Our Last Summer" by ABBA in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of D. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 112 BPM.
This arrangement is a wonderful workout for smooth chord transitions — with 20 chords in play, your hands need to stay relaxed and move efficiently between shapes like D, Dmaj7, and D7, where often just one finger shifts.
Pay special attention to the walking bass pattern in your left hand; at 112 BPM it should feel like a gentle stroll, not a sprint, so practice that hand alone first until the movement feels automatic.
The trickiest spots will likely be transitions involving F#7 to Bm7 and the sus4 chords (Dsus4, Asus4, Esus4), where you need to hold common tones and only lift the fingers that actually move.
Loop those specific changes at half tempo until they're clean before speeding up.
Use light sustain pedal to connect the ballad feel, but change it with each new bass note to avoid mud.
This is the piece that will genuinely build your confidence moving through extended and suspended chords — once these shapes are under your fingers, you'll recognize them everywhere in pop music.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Our Last Summer" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 112 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
