About this piece
The Countess of Farnham's Waltz is a piece by Spagnoletti (?–?), unhurried and gentle. It is rated level 2 of 5, easy, and takes about 1:00 to play in B♭ major. In the app it belongs to the Waltzes collection. Note the pickup: the music starts with an upbeat before the first full bar, so count yourself in before the first note.
How to play The Countess of Farnham's Waltz on piano
- Learn each hand on its own before putting them together. In the app, choose Left or Right and the other hand plays for you, so you still hear the whole piece.
- Use Wait mode for the first few runs, then play along at 50% speed with the count-in.
- Work in short sections of four to eight bars rather than always starting from the top.
- Learn the left hand's waltz pattern on its own first: a low bass note on beat one, then two lighter chords. Once it runs without thinking, add the melody.
- Short daily sessions beat one long weekly one. Ten focused minutes a day is enough to make steady progress.
In the PianoKite app you can learn it with your own digital piano over Bluetooth or USB, or with any piano through the microphone: the score scrolls past a playhead, the keys light up, and every bar gets a score so you can see what's learned.
