La Víctima (Accurate easy version with lyrics)-Xavi

😔 At the request of the track's copyright holder, the price is $3

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 PDFs. Follow me!

Please, notice that the vocals are written using a treble clef with the numeral 8 below it 𝄠 (a suboctave clef). This indicates that pitches sound one octave below the written score. Play the right hand one octave lower than written. I also *doubled note values* to make sightreading easier for beginners. The track isn't recorded in the 3/2 time.

Remember that the notation system was not intended to represent the sound of folk music with its semi-spoken vocal and string inflections of guitars.

Imitate the vocal delivery by Xavi or it won't sound as the song. The vocal part is relatively rigid and precisely timed, so it produces not much of a melody for the right hand. The melodic line is built on notes stepwise movement. The composition lacks intervallic saturation thus its artistic meaning and expression suffer. The verses and choruses share a single melodic idea.

A predominant vocal style is *staccato*.

Notice arpeggiato (𝆃), play it softly.

"La Víctima" is played with a complicated rhythm in triple time. The accompaniment and the vocal line use different rhythms patterns. It makes the score hard to memorize. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.

The track starts with chorus and ends in verse. I colored choruses *blue* for your convenience: it is easier to learn a piece of music when you have a mental scheme of it. Play every part differently, as expressively as possible.

"La Víctima" 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.

"La Víctima" is transcribed in the original *key,* D Major, and uses basic and extended major and minor chords *Bm D A♯m Em F♯7.* Extended chords help create richer sounds.

A chord change creates a meaningful harmonic progression although somewhat dissonant.
