"Eternal Sunshine"

Remember that the notation system was not intended to represent the sound of modern pop music with its layered vocal, computer-generated sounds, and inflections of modern electronic instruments. My piano sheet music can only show you the score within the boundaries of the twelve-note scale and a metered rhythm; alas, the pitch and rhythm have little to do with the aesthetic value of the track. Listen to the song before practicing to fully imitate the beauty of the song: its *timbre, phrasing, inflections.* Play the song, not sheet music. Sing a phrase before playing it on your keyboard.

Imitate the vocal delivery by Ariana Grande or it won't sound as the song. The vocal part is precisely timed but very soft in attack. A predominant vocal style is *staccato*.

Albeit the time is common, 4/4, Ariana used triplets in the verses and syncopation in the bridge.

If you play the riff from the intro throughout the song in the right hand one or two octaves higher, you can have a solo piano part to accompany the voice.

To keep listeners attention, the *chorus* of "Eternal Sunshine" was made to be the biggest part of the song.

The instrumental part has an airy musical texture. Play the left hand very softly.

"Eternal Sunshine" is an atonal track, it has no tonic-sub/dominant relationship. The score is transcribed in the original *key,* A Major, and uses two extended till at least 7th but maybe even 9th degrees major chords *A and D.* Extended chords help create richer sounds.

The underlying harmony lacks motion and is fundamentally static: there is no sense of harmonic progression, only a pedal tone on A and D. Its only use is to mark time.

Notice the abundance of ellipsis (omitted chords) that pushes soft vocal forward without a need for Ariana to sing louder.

The aesthetic value of a melodic line is achieved through the use of conventional stepwise motion within a small range.

Of course I consider filling your *requests* of sheet music except for not popular tracks.
