piano sheet music crisis!

I do not know what score you are using, but you can try this..

Thank you! - this is a differerent version to the one I have; the chords are slightly easier looking, and it does not include the mystery symbol, which is fine by me! so I will try working with this one - I appreciate you taking the time to reply...

Can you post an image of this 'mystery symbol?'

...I am intrigued...

I can't post an image, but it literally looks like an upper case letter L. Exactly like that in fact: L It is immediately in front of the top note of a bass clef chord.
To tell you the truth, the chord stretches over 9 (white) keys, which I am finding impossible to play, and I am hoping that that symbol tells me an easier way!! I could be disappointed though...
Is is common for there to be chords that stretch over so many keys? And if so how do you play them, cos I have fairly big hands and just can't do it, at least not quickly enough to keep time....
Thanks!

I think thats Left Hand, but i'm not sure, can someone get me 'Somewhere Only We Know' - Keane piano music sheet, i really need it! please find me something! lol

As Satie was a French composer, if L means the left hand then the symbol may have been added by an editor not by Satie himself.

I'd like to see your score... This "mystery symbol" seems interesting
The 1st Gymnopedia is not that difficult. You just have to move a lot... Well it IS difficult to make it sound good, but technically it's not difficult at all... Maybe you should concentrate on the best way for you to play it (don't try to play everything legato only with your hands, for example...) I played it when I still had pretty small hands, and it was fine, so I don't think it should bother you...
Good luck :wink:
