  1. Hi Frank. Do you happen to have the arpeggios written out on staff lines? Cheers

    1. Hi, Danielle. Thanks for asking. I am happy to help… and can create in a very short time…. but first I would like to understand what you have in mind. it all depends on what would like to do with them… and what information you would like to be included… any particulate rhythm? One, two three, four octaves? Both hands? Major and minor? Fingering numbers? Order of presentation (around the cycle of dominants, for example)? Treat each chord as a Tonic chord and use a key signature or apply accidentals to each and every note? Others?

  2. I love it

    1. I appreciate your positive feedback, my anonymous friend.

  3. hi

    I am working on New York State of Mind. need help with rt hand fingering decending triad (c major 2nd invers) then G, then F then F 2nd invers … Is best just 5, 3, 1 or is there something better? Thanks

    1. I would love to help if I can, anonymous, but… Can you send the score or describe the exact sequence? The fingering always depends on the rhythm, what comes before, what comes after, and… most important, the choreography always always always depends on your musical intentions. So, can you also describe how you would like to play this sequence or send an mp3? frank@piano-ology.com
