This arrangement features the section from the small auditorium practice scene in Episode 2 of the drama Four Hands.
The opening stays quiet for a while. If you find this part a little too slow, you can start from bar 25 instead.
Toward the end, the music gets more and more intense, rushing forward until it finishes with a dramatic “Ding!” 🎹
This is where the music ends in the drama, but I felt the ending was a little unresolved, so I added an optional “Ta-da!” ending for a cleaner, more satisfying finish. You can play this added ending or leave it out. 😊
This set includes both the piano four-hands and solo arrangements for those who would like both versions. It’s fun to play together, and just as fun to play on your own! 🤗
The video above features the solo version.

There is also a “Short Version,” which is slightly different from the drama version.
The two versions are quite similar, but the Short Version starts right away from the intense section at bar 25, and the ending is slightly different.
The Drama Version has a more intense, dramatic ending, while the Short Version has a cleaner, more straightforward finish.
