Well it’s Wheezing Wednesday, where I hoped to share with you some recordings of my very bottom-of-the-barrel accordioning.
However this past week I contracted a cold, and so feeble and weak as I am I haven’t much felt like picking up the accordion. I’ve done quite enough coughing and wheezing on my own without needing to bring an instrument into things!
I will however share with you a sheet that I have prepared. It’s a very simple version of the old Sailor Moon theme, Moonlight Densetsu. The only tricky bit is a last-minute alteration I made at the end of the bridge, with a little walk-around in the bass (bars 23 and 24). It could just be replaced with an alternating G – G7 if it’s too difficult.
Maybe we can see how I manage by next week. I can’t avoid putting up recordings for the whole month, can I?
Hello! I am a novice accordionist and yours is the only Sailor Moon theme sheet music I could find so thank you so much for putting it together! I’m trying to piece together section 23-24. Is it meant to all be played on the bass row? There is no counterbass notation and I looked up that notes that start where the first note of it is are meant to be played as a chord so is it a mix of major chord and bass? Thanks again!
It’s been a while so I can’t remember exactly, but I found the midi that was generated when I transcribed the sheet music and from listening to that I think the intention was that they’re all to be played on the bass.
I would have to come at it from square one again to work out a recommended fingering for them.
I never did get fluent at this piece, so I’d love to hear your version of it!
Also, if the bass walk is too tricky, feel free to swap it out for an alternating G – G7.
Thanks for dropping by the blog!
