justinf Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 If anyone on the forum has a copy of Oliphant Chuckerbutty's "Paean" at hand, would you be willing to check some notes for me? I'm just learning this piece and I suspect a misprint in the score. Seven measures from the end there is a descending melody with three chords in eighth notes followed by two in sixteenths. The first of the sixteenth note chords is g minor (d+g in the left hand, g'+b♭' in the right) which is fine, but the second goes off the rails: f+a in the left hand with f#'+b♭' in the right. In a similar passage in m. 18 the g minor chord is followed by a diminished 7th, so I'm thinking of playing e♭+a with f#'+c'' in the right hand, which also restores the melody. Then again, m. 14 uses a sort of Neapolitan chord at the end of the measure leading to the dominant in m. 15. So, if anyone can point me in the right direction, I will be most grateful. Thanks!

mgp Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I do your first option - plus channging the LH G to a Bb and adding an Eb in the LH last chord 8 bars from end - leaving the 'neopolitan' for three bars from the end. Anyone see the m/s? mgp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinf Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks, mgp. I'll try out both changes tonight after choir practice. I appreciate the advice! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
