Then I started working out the differences between adjacent notes in half-note, full-note terms in the two pieces and realized that they are essentially identical apart from one being half a note lower than the other throughout. The tunes should be different because the key signatures are different. Exactly the same notes appear in exactly the same place on the staff. What I found remarkable was that apart from the different key signatures they appear musically identical. Here is the start of my simpler score in G -Īnd here is the start of the "grown up" score in G♭. Out of curiosity as to what the score he was playing looked like compared to what I would be learning I downloaded the score from IMSLP and was surprised at what I saw comparing the two scores. As usual I looked for some examples on YouTube and found this hauntingly beautiful rendition by Augustin Hadelich. As I'm a "good beginner" (started playing 17 months ago) he gave me the easier G transposition rather than the original, more difficult version, in G♭. This week's assignment from my violin teacher is Dvorak's Humoresque No7.
