This is a piece where flats and sharps change a lot. When encountering accidentals, remember: if a note gets an accidental, that accidental lasts for the entire measure. When you’re just starting out, it might be helpful to write down the accidentals on your sheet music. You’ll also encounter double-sharps in this piece. They look like this: 𝄪. Th...
Fingering can feel overwhelming in this piece because there are so many changing and moving parts. But trust in your muscle memory. It’ll get easier as you practice. We promise! And remember: fingerings aren’t set in stone. You can’t change up the fingering if another combination feels better.

Learning how to play this piece is an investment. You’re not meant to learn it in a day! If you feel overwhelmed, try dividing the piece into sections and practice section by section or page by page.
