Listen to the original recording to pick up the important changes in dynamics and tempo. It's not a difficult piece to play - the key is getting the phrasing, the changes in dynamics and tempo right.Īnyone who's played some of Joni's other piano pieces from this era will be on familiar territory with the basic style: steady root-fifth-octave patterns dominating in the left hand, with the right hand filling in triads, sixths and melodic fragments.Īs there are subtle changes in what's played for each repeat of the verse and chorus sections I've transcribed Joni's piano part in full here, rather than rely on repeat symbols. This transcription is the piano part for "River" as played by Joni - another classic piano piece from her album "Blue".
