You Don't Even Know Me is composed in a binary verse-chorus form. Both sections are repeated before a short coda.
This song follows the traditional model for the pop-ballad form. Its rhythmic basis is sustained throughout, so the LH’s principal duty will be to provide a rock-steady footing.
Accuracy in articulation are essential for playing You Don't Even Know Me piano sheet music.
Your tone should be rich and gentle. It should impart the lilting feel of a ballad. To sound quietly, keep your fingers close to the keys and do some firm practice from the knuckles.
The articulation in this piece is tricky because it alternates between legato and staccato.
Accent every note, varying the accents each time you play. Once played lightly and up to speed, the ornament should flow naturally.
It’s worth trying out this technique for the entire song.
In playing any piano transcription of a song, the aim is to give the impression of a singer (the RH) that is being accompanied by a sensitive pianist (the LH). Imagine a duet between a band and a singer, so color the two hands differently. Coordinating the parts may take some time to organise convincingly.
The RH here plays a melody (topline) and the LH provides some harmony (accompaniment). First separate the melody from the accompaniment in the LH. Try singing the melody as you play, so you can mentally separate the topline from the accompaniment in the RH.
Practise slowly at first, giving a distinct emphasis on the topline while playing the accompaniment as gently and as evenly as possible.
Don’t forget to bring dynamic colour to your performance by quickly moving from piano to forte; play every new part with different volume.
After getting familiar with the RH, focus on the LH. The LH is generally soft throughout. This is one of those pieces where the bulk of the practising will be devoted to an accompaniment.
Feel free to arpeggiate the LH chords especially if you can’t stretch your hand yet.
Get your hand in position for each chord before playing it.
A relaxed wrist will help you to balance chords so that all three notes sound at the same time.
Make full use of the pedal when calculating how best to present Faouzia’s ingenious harmonies.
