Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a wonderful workout for chromatic chord movement — you'll navigate through passing diminished chords like C#dim, D#dim, and F#dim that connect your major and minor shapes by half-step, so pay close attention to those moments where your right hand only needs to shift one or two fingers to land the next voicing.

Your left hand keeps an octave bass pattern at a relaxed 80 BPM, which gives you breathing room, but don't rush those octave jumps — lock them in hands-separate first until they feel automatic.

The trickiest spots will be transitions into Dm9 and G9, where you're stretching beyond basic triads; isolate those two-chord pairs and loop them slowly until the shape sits in your hand.

Use a little sustain pedal to smooth the romantic legato feel, lifting cleanly on each chord change so the diminished passing tones don't blur together.

This is the piece that'll make jazz-style voice leading feel natural under your fingers — once these chromatic walks click, you'll carry that skill into everything you play next.
