Ok. so based on the example I played I have no choice. so do I just put the whole shebang on beat one and hope the pianist, in this case either me or the prof or a class mate would have the sense to do what I did, better then me of corse. lol.
I know how to build the cord in lily pond but I'm wondering if I need to do something special or will they just know, unless they have hands that can stretch 2 octaves lol! do I need that bracket or how ever my sighted friend described it to me when we put it in to a piece I was composing about 5 years ago? the teacher rolled that cord the way we had indicated. Tc all and be blessed. I should be up to that point tomorrow in the piece. By then hopefully I would have decided what to do. Take care all and thanks for putting up with me.
