Wiz Khalifa – See You Again ft. Charlie Puth [Furious 7 – Fast & Furious movie] Piano cover by CANACANA

Wiz Khalifa’s 2015 hit “See You Again ft.

Charlie Puth” is a piece that reveals the piano’s delicate side.

In addition to being chosen as the theme song for the film Furious 7, it also drew attention when figure skater Shoma Uno used it in an exhibition program.

Although it’s a quiet piece, be careful not to make the sound too weak—ensure each note is clearly articulated.

To avoid a monotonous performance, try building excitement toward the end by adding more layered tones, and experiment with the number of notes as well as dynamics.

Two Arabesques No. 1 in E majorClaude Debussy

Debussy / Two Arabesques: No. 1 in E major / Performed by Masako Nakai

Among Claude Debussy’s works, the especially famous masterpiece is Two Arabesques, No.

1 in E major.

It’s one of the Debussy pieces most often heard at piano recitals.

The difficulty is toward the higher end of the intermediate level.

The key point of this piece is how you apply force.

“Arabesque” means a decorative pattern; accordingly, the piece emphasizes an impersonal, patterned quality in performance, which requires the technique of maintaining a consistent strength throughout.

In that sense, it’s a piece that demands considerable hand stamina, similar to “Feux follets.”
