👧🏻 Hi, I am Rita. I transcribe piano scores for popular music. My sheet music are accurate but playable transcriptions with lyrics and harmonic chords.

😔 Alas, at the request of the track's copyright holder, the minimum price is $3.

💰 How to pay $1.5? I want as much people as possible to play my sheet music. I can create a "bundle" of 2+ files with 50 % discount. Contact me in the comments down below (↓). Also you can get ¢50 back for a review and $1 back for a video.

“The Pretender” Sheet Music

An accurate transcription for easy piano notated precisely as it should be performed to reduce ambiguity.

Lyrics and vocables ("ah-ah"s) are always included in my sheet music because I think we should always sing while playing piano (even when playing classical pieces).

Harmony chords above the upper stave are for those who want to make their own arrangements by breaking chords in arpeggios or other patterns in the left hand.

The chorus is colored blue for your convenience. I notate verses/choruses differently because in modern pop-music they are arranged differently purely for the aesthetic enjoyment of variation.

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. Lewis Capaldi has a very low voice.

"Pointless" is a song with a homophonic arrengement — the instrumental part provides a harmony to support the vocal but lacks its own melody. Piano is an instrument that can play a melody and an accompaniment simultaneously.

The key is E Major.

Vocal in the original track is sinuous and complex, marked by subtle bends and slides, with intense ornamentation. It is impossible to convey on piano with a fixed pitch of the keys. A predominant vocal style is legato.

🔢 “Pointless” is composed with a swinged rhythm in the quadruple time.

Almost all Lewis Capaldi's songs I transcribed were written in 12/8.
