WANTED: Piano Part for "Chop Suey" by Emile Grimshaw

[thereallyniceman]

Joel recently mentioned that he was learning Grimshaw's "Chop Suey".

I have over-looked this piece but I think that it is a superb, if devilishly difficult, piece and I would like to give it a try but don't have the piano part of the score for Lynn to accompany me.

ANYONE OUT THERE MAKE MY WIFE HAPPY?

[Joel Hooks]

Sorry, all I have is the banjo parts.  Any chance of getting I good scan of the cover sheet?  I'd like to print a nice copy and hang it on the wall so that it can mock me every time I walk past it.

Eventually I'll beat it.

When I play it I try to image the low Cs in the first strain as gong strikes and a pound the heck out of the string.

I'l looking forward to your interpretation of it (but really just hearing thereallynicelady play piano).

I didn't have anything but the banjo parts either but I tried to arrange it for 3 banjos. Maybe this will help.

[thereallyniceman]

Hi Hal, I have your 3 part arrangement (see here: LINK TO HAL'S ARRANGEMENTS)

Unfortunately my arranging skills are even worse than my banjo playing so have given up.

BUT this very afternoon a kind friend has emailed me a copy of the original Piano Part for Grimshaw's Chop Suey... so I am  happy bunny ;-)

Now I have to simply learn how to play it...  any tips Joel?

[Joel Hooks]

Practice?

[thereallyniceman]

What is that then?
