Chadwick Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grYB8lOdKFY]YouTube - Coldplay Politik Live @ Alpine Valley 2009[/ame] In that video, starting at 1:33, Chris plays a really fast song on the piano. I noticed he doesn't always play that song live, sometimes he jumps right into the Erik Satie song. But I was wondering if anyone knew what the song was called and if there is any sheet music for it. Also, if you could find another video with the full song that would be great too. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadwick Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 I wish I could have the notes to it though. It sounded cool to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Its no 'song' just Chris improvising. I doubt he even pays much attention to where his hands land, as he's just going for dissonance and atonality leading into the haunting gnossienne.

shutterbug Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hmmm... I can't really hear the notes but it might be a bridge to Gnossienne No. 1 by Erik Satie, or that piece sped up. Not quite sure. And it most certaintly isn't postcards... http://coldplay.com/oracledetail.php?id=433&page= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadwick Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Oh well, I can just ask my friend's dad to play it by ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoRocker Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I think it's just some arpeggios is Politik's key. (it's just a guess) I don't have my piano near atm so can't check it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 huh?! arpeggios? didn't you (everyone i mean) watch the vid? the way he is playing is not accurate, there's no time for keys and arpeggios :D :D i guess he plays the f in the LH and in the RH he plays 3 times 2 notes. the 1st is higher than the 2nd. when he played them first, he moves up octave does it again, then another octave above that's what think is possible... but hey, who'd want to copy them 100%? better improvise a little on your own... =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoRocker Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I mean Arpeggios indeed. You have to take a good listen to find the mid-range notes. Why there's no time for arpeggios? A good pianist don't need time for keys and arpeggios. What do you mean with keys? The key what Politik is in, why should'nt he have time for that? He should know the key before he starts playing Politik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
