About this piece

Falling Slowly is the song Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová wrote and sang for the film Once (2007), and it won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. In the film it begins at a piano, so it feels at home on the keys. What you can play here is the first 32 seconds (98 notes, about 3 a second); the whole arrangement lasts 3:18. Expect a count in 4/4 and a tempo near 75 bpm. The full arrangement spans F1 to G5, about 4 octaves of the keyboard. About 23 % of the preview’s key presses sound two or more notes at once; the rest are single notes.

The range is wide, so sit at the middle of the keyboard and let your arms travel.
