Perfect, by Ed Sheeran
Several areas within the score present challenges for pianists, identified through quantifiable difficulty levels.
-
Hand Coordination (Bars 29-32): The left hand's shifting from solid chords to broken chords while accompanying the right-hand melody demands advanced coordination, which may challenge intermediate pianists. A meticulous practice routine focusing on slow tempo drills will aid in easing this transition.
-
Rapid Passage Work (Bars 53-60): The sequence of rapid passing tones in the right hand could pose difficulties, requiring precise finger dexterity and tempo control. Pianists should isolate this section, practicing with a metronome and gradually increasing the speed once comfort is achieved.
-
Dynamic Control (Various sections): Significant dynamic shifts throughout the piece (forte/mezzo-piano transitions) require sensitive touch and expressiveness. Pianists should emphasize practice on dynamics in sections like bars 41-48 to ensure the emotional content resonates strongly.
To effectively tackle the aforementioned challenges, consider the following targeted practice methods:
-
Hands Separately: It is crucial to master the left-hand accompaniment patterns through isolated practice to enhance coordination before combining both hands.
-
Dynamics Exercises: Create a series of exercises that concentrate on achieving the desired dynamics. Experiment with different touch levels on sustained notes in bars 41-48 while maintaining the melody’s lyrical quality.

The arrangement of "Perfect" uniquely blends the emotive essence of Ed Sheeran's original with an intricate piano interpretation facilitated by Chantal Janvier. Here are some key features of the score:
-
Form and Structure: The piece predominantly follows a cyclical structure, repeated themes, and variations lending to a sense of continuity. For example, the recurring chord progressions found in bars 1-8 and 36-48 utilize the tonic (I – A♭) and dominant (V – E♭) chords effectively to maintain harmonic cohesion.
-
Chord Progression: The work primarily revolves around three fundamental harmonies: A♭ (I), E♭ (V), and Fm (vi). Notably, the use of auxiliary chords like C minor (ii) in bars 9-12 introduces richness and depth to the harmonic progression.
-
Rhythmic Complexity: The piece is anchored in the 6/8 time signature. The use of eighth notes (0_) in the left hand throughout most sections contrasts with the melodic lines, creating a flowing, dance-like quality evident in bars 1-16 and 49-64.
-
Melodic Lines: The main melody is characterized by smooth, lyrical phrases predominantly in the right hand (A♭3, C4, E♭4). Musically, it is adorned with embellishments and ornamentation. For instance, bars 15-16 showcase a descending figure that beautifully complements the underlying harmony.
