Can Can

In this version of Jaques Offenbach's famous Can Can, the first G is quite long, but it can also be played it twice, each G then sounding  a bit shorter. The fingering that comes with this score allows you to play the song nice and fast. Play briskly, but don’t rush. In the third staff all notes descend step by step. A sequence like this is called a scale. In this scale you see a in front of the F. Don’t play the F, but the black key to the right of it, the F (F sharp). This fingering lets you finish the scale with your thumb on the low G in the beginning of the fourth staff. Try not to pause  at the transition. This second half is very similar to the first half. Only the ending is different.
