Petite Fleur by Sidney Bechet

[macdjerf]

Hi!


Does any one have any tabs or notes for "Petite Fleur" by Sidney Bechet?
I only know some of the beginning in "Bb" as "e  e e d #f a .." but that is all, and I´m not sure it´s right.

Since I´m a beginner I´m happy with anything any one may have.

All the best
Mac

Hi,
Here is my tab for "Petite fleur" (I play it on a harmo in C). The small letters refer to the lowest notes, the capital ones to the middle notes, and the double capitals to the higher notes. So, the tune starts with a low "G sharp" (g#) and finishes with a high C (CC).

g#   g   b   D   F   G#   G   D#   g   C   D   D#   C   D   a   b   C   D   b   g

Honored to be a part of this community--I should try this one too!

Call me Sherwood. I guess I'm just that dense! I can't make heads or tails of it. The problem is that as soon as I do figure out where the notes are, I'll just play the silly thing without looking. That's "the curse on the ear player"

Here's a link to the chart--it seems to be in Gm (Bb).

The YouTube of Sidney is in Gm too.
The tab is in Cm.
So here is a version in that key--and she's cute!

Hi!


Thank you so much for the fine links and good comments.
They are very useful as always.

This music never gets old.

I can read the notes of the sheet decently but not good and I realize I´m used to the numbering system
This piece fits excellently for the Seydel Orchestra and I understand why it is made in this way.

All the best
Mac

Hi Again @ Blue Harp!


I´m sorry to ask but is the marked "g" at the beginning really a "g" or is it a "D"?
I´m a beginner but it sounds awkward when I play it, do you by any chance happen to have a recording?

It is a wonderful tune!

To my opinion, the most beautiful piece of music to play on a harmo  That's why I'm trying to play it without having to read my tab ... but that's another story
