Playing tips: JohnKemberwrites,‘Thistango hashabanera-likerhythm.Tryto
maintain the articulation in the left hand while keeping the melody legato. To help
with the coordination, play the crotchets straight to make the triplets easier to
perform. It should have a moderate four-in-the-bar tempo – and not too fast!
Keep the RH legato.It might feel tricky at
first,playing against the LH staccato.

It Takes Two
Pedal tips: With jazz, you really need to use your ears. So sound out where the
harmonies change and change the pedal accordingly. One needs to be able to
hear that lovely bass line tango rhythm, so very little pedal is needed.
Take a look at the technical tips within the score.
You can also have more rubato in the RH.
The LH has the pulse.Keep in strict
time! Make sure to play the last two
crotchets staccato.
Again,clap two against three.
The Coda sign means that when you play the
repeat,jumpfromendofbar7tobar25.
Make a crescendo towards
the end of the bar.
The two-against-three (triplets in the RH)
might be awkward at first.Tap both hands
on a table first to get a feel for it.
Make a graceful diminuendo.
Make a sudden piano here.
Feel the gradual build-up through the bars here.
