DW937 - About Time:
Standard: Grade 6
Approximate playing time: 2 min 20 sec
This jazzy piece is written mainly in 5/4 with an occasional bar or more in 4/4 time, and is written in Eb major. It helps the performer to count with ease because the treble melody is set in phrases that simply flow well across established time zones.
The treble melody has, in part, an underlying melodic counterpart. The bass accompaniment includes a catchy two-bar solo (and a little surprise key change), accents and tied notes to support the swinging feel and rhythmic content.
It is based on only one three-note chord, so it can be played on both standard bass and free bass instruments. |
