Does anyone know which sonatina this is. I played it for grade five in 1968 and I've been trying to find it to have another go... see if I would still pass 😆
This is the one of the most complicated explanation I’ve seen. Think like this. C to D is a step (or called tone). Now C sharp is a half-step (semi-tone) up of C. And D flat is a half-step down of D. If C is 1 and D is 2 then half of both is 1.5. If you go half up of 1 it’s 1.5z if you go half down of 2, it’s still 1.5. So basically, C sharp and D flat are the same thing, 1.5. People have just come up with fancy names for it. Think of sharp as a sharp knife, pointed up Ʌ, step up. And flat as a flat dull knife. Also a semi-tone or half-step is 100 cents.
