Hey Adam, Yo, are you ready for this? I don't think so. Okay, let me explain this to you. We are going to trade some of our favorite voicings, a la carte style, improvisational style. One at a time. Top of our head. Yeah, we're going to do seven. Okay. I'm going to start. Let's do this. Okay, here we go. It's trying to think of them. You're getting ahead of your

though. It's trying to think of them. You're getting ahead of yourself. Hey, that's a good one. I'm Adam Manus. And I'm Peter Martin. Can you listen to the You'll hear it podcast. This is two pianists talking music. I mean, that's really all it is at this point. We're just talking voicing, so we hope you like it.

I mean, voicings are such a, I mean, how many times have we talked about voicings on the pot?

I mean, hundreds at this point?

We're about it a thousand, you know. I know. We're coming up on a thousand episodes. But we didn't talk about voicing all the time, but we do it a lot because we love them.

We love voicings.

It's a kind of particular and peculiar thing to piano

playing why would you put those two words together on a podcast particular like you have to talk

this is like the sure microphone test that's a that's a steep learning curve but i mean it's not

exclusive to pianists yeah but it is something that we're responsible for.

It's fun.

We get a lot of questions about it. Everyone's always trying to find like good voicing. Yeah. You know, and you know one of my big things. What? You probably get sick of hearing. Everybody probably does. But it's so true. It's like there's no such thing as just a grade voicing. although today we're going to give you seven great voices but we're going to put them in context okay

when we talk about context we're going to give you seven grade voicing.

But we're going to put them in context.

Okay.

When we talk about context, we're talking about where are we coming from and where are we going. So for me, and I'll just kick it off. Can we go right into number one? Do we have any housekeeping we need to do? No, you're all good. Okay. So this is going to be my first one, but I'm going to tell you, we either need to talk about where it's coming from, where it's going, or perhaps even both.

Because the most successful discussion and I think assimilation of any kind of voicing needs to be in that kind of a context.

It's like vocabulary, right?

When you're learning a word, if you don't know when to use it, how to use it at the right place, then a new word is not going to be very interesting. And if it's

kind of a lesser known word or a little bit unusual, we'll certainly get into some kind of unusual

voicings. If you can't place it in a place that is listenable and edifying to the our dear listener, then it's not

going to matter. It's just going to sound like a jumbled mess. It's up to us to put these things together,
