Tips for Playing Joy Unspeakable Advanced Piano Solo

• The trickiest part of this arrangement is when it goes into the Rudy Atwood style of octave runs on page 3. This section can be taken creatively slower to give the pianist time to accurately play the runs in a relaxed fashion.
• Try to pace your dynamic and tempo energy throughout this piece. It is easy to begin this at a fortissimo and quick tempo, but remember you have to build for every verse. It’s okay to build and fall naturally and musically, but be sure to save the most dramatic energy for the final verse.
• This is an octave-heavy arrangement. Be sure you do not tense up your hands as you play repetitive octaves. Two tips to stay relaxed are to practice with playing an octave then pulling your hand up and fingers together during practice. Alternatively, you can hit the piano keys at different points; the action of moving forward and backward on the piano keys helps keep our hands from maintaining tension.
