Illusion (Easy version with lyrics for singing) - Dua Lipa

😔 At the request of the track's copyright holder, the minimum price is $6

Hi, I am Rita. I transcribe piano sheets for popular music. All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics (singing is good for health) and harmonic chords. I consider reasonable requests. Sometimes I post free files, don't miss it!

“Illusion”

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.

I doubled note value* to make sightreading easier for beginners. The track isn't recorded in the 2/2 time.

"Illusion" is played with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats to maintain a steady pulse. Practice slowly along with the recording.

In the left hand you can play simple chords on strong beats if following the original chord changes is too complicated for you.

Imitate the vocal delivery by Dua Lipa or it won't sound as the song. The vocal part is rhythmic but with evident pitch inflections (slurred notes). All inflected notes should be played very quietly. There are many repetitions thus its artistic meaning and expression suffer. Dua switches from staccato to legato all the time.

A single vocal line accompanied by an instrumental part constitutes the entire musical texture. "Illusion" has a semi-improvised, loosely organized and wandering melody and homophonic arrengement: the instrumental part provides a harmony to support the vocal but lacks its own melody.

"Illusion" is composed in a Locrian minor key, D Sharp Minor with the lowered 2nd (E) and the raised 7th (double sharp C𝄪), and uses basic/extended major and minor chords D♯m B A G♯m E A♯.

The aesthetic value of a melodic line is achieved through the use of repetition.

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