Published by Piano HiveContemporary Classical, solo piano piece suitable for Grade 5 - 6, intermediate players.
'Sixth Sense' is an intricate cinematic piece which explores some wonderful harmony. This main riff is a real joy with both hands working in partnership to create beautiful texture and sound. The introduction of the melody comes in with grace and adds another dimension to the piece!
Key techniques
- 8th note left hand spread arpeggios over a 10th
- Right hand octave melody playing
- Contrasting dynamics left and right hand
Composer Tips
- In preparation for learning the piece, practice Ab major and F minor harmonic scales hands together.
- Keep the quaver movement steady throughout and be careful not to over emphasise the first note in each bar.
- Keep a very loose wrist to help perform the left hand extended arpeggios
Sixth Sense is suitable for home performance, practice pieces, ABRSM grade support pieces, professional performance, school and student learning.
