A piano transcription by Toru Takemitsu of the Beatles song “Golden Slumbers.” While centered on its familiar melody, the arrangement leaves a quiet and delicate impression through its layered sonorities and lingering resonance. The melody should be allowed to sing without being pushed too far forward, while maintaining a careful balance with the inner voices and bass. Shaping the breathing of each phrase and using the pedal only as far as the sound remains clear will help convey the color of the harmonies and the sense of spaciousness. Throughout the musical flow, contrasts should not rely on volume alone; changes in touch and sonority also deserve close attention.
