ANZCA Modern Grade 7 Boogie - Dark Eyes Boogie

After recording a huge number of Grade 5 pieces, I thought it was about time to record a Grade 7 tune. Those of you not up to Grade 7 yet might be curious about how a Grade 7 piece sounds. I have to let you know, I did make a tiny boo boo - near the end, one part should be up an octave in the right hand, but as usual I was completely unobservant and missed the direction written clearly above the music. Nevertheless, this rendition will give you an idea about whether you'd like to learn the piece or not.

This one is not in your typical Twelve Bar Blues form as so many boogies are. It's kind of in its own unique form. The melody is based on a Russian folk tune.

Enjoy!
