Too Sad to Dance - Jung Kook

An easy piano transcription made by request for beginners. The lyrics are always included in my sheet music because I think we should always *sing* while playing piano. You can also use the video for karaoke. Please, notice that the upper stave is written using a treble clef with the numeral 8 below it (a so-called suboctave clef). This indicates that the pitches sound an octave lower. Play the right hand one octave lower than written. I do it to avoid using ledger lines that slower sightreading. I also *doubled note values* to make sightreading easier for beginners. The track isn't recorded in the 2/2 time.

There are only 3 pages to print.

ABOUT THE SONG

The Jungkook's track has some interesting formal and harmonic things:

_"Too Sad to Dance"_ is played with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners but be sure not to play in a mechanical way. Strive for a loose and bouncing feel accenting strong beats. Take care to maintain a steady pulse and play along with the recording if you find that the memory eludes you. Practice _"Too Sad to Dance"_ slowly.

To keep listeners attention, the *chorus* was made to be the biggest part of a song. The producer decided to whistle the third repetition of chorus. I wish it rather had a bridge or a funky coda. I colored the chorus *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. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.

_"Too Sad to Dance"_ is a song with a homophonic arrengement: the instrumental part provides a harmony to support the vocal but lacks its own melody. You can play the left-hand riff from the intro throughout the song if you wish.

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 repetition of one note. The composition lacks intervalic saturation thus its artistic meaning and expression suffer. A predominant vocal style is *staccato*.

_"Too Sad to Dance"_ is transcribed in the original *key,* B Flat Major, and uses the same chords *Bb F/A Gm F Eb F Bb* over and over again.

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