That's Where My MoneyGoes
no staff, black keys
First Pieces, A
There are two versions of this piece in First Pieces. Neither one has staff lines. One is played on black keys and the other on white keys. In both cases the tune has been shortened from four phrases to two.
The Primer Level version includes the full tune played in an “almost-thumbs-share-C position” with finger 2 of the left hand on A instead of B.
In Level 1 the second and third fingers of the right hand stretch over a white key. An explanatory picture of the keyboard shows this unusual fingering.
Level 2 is written in eighth- and quarter-notes instead of quarter and halves as in earlier levels. This “rhythmic diminution” implies a beat which is more true to how the music really sounds. There is the same stretch between right hand fingers 2 and 3 as there is in Level 1.
Words refer to a puppy rather than the traditional baby to make the piece more appropriate for children.
