Could you send me the Moonlight Sonata in this notation, please? I think it's cool i mean the ESN ;p and I wanted to learn moonlight sonata ;p

@SawakoShiotani

Glad you like the ESN! Message me (to my username) and include your email so I can send you the Moonlight Sonata in Express Stave. By the way, did you look at my video "Easiest way how to play Moonlight Sonata" ?

[TomSaunders89]

This is brilliantly intuitive and may solve many of my problems. Thank you.

Thanks for your comment! If you would like to practice reading in Express Stave, as well as traditional bass clef, see my video, and try playing the tunes at the end.

I've never heard of this, but I like it. Where could I find music written in this notation?

[ExpressStaveNotation]

Glad you like it! I have a pdf file of Moonlight Sonata on the Music Notation Project website, but otherwise I can send you any piece you want in Express Stave notation. I teach my piano students to read Express Stave notation in addition to Traditional Notation. They find it much easier. For example a number of students learnt the complete Fantasie Impromptu after only playing piano for one year.

I have another stave setup if you're interested. I call it G-B-D 3 line. It doesn't correspond with TN notation, but the note stacking is the same vertical spacing distances. I can cover from low G to high B with this (4 G's plus a B). I have a Libre or PDF file if you want to see it. I think the advantage is that an arpeggio like C E G B looks exactly the same over 3 octaves. It takes up no more room than normal notation. Between D and next G higher there is a space of 11/2 where E, F fit.
