The best instructional video I have seen on KZfaq, the way you have analyzed and simplified the song is amazing. You are a great teacher and by your generosity we all piano learner are benefiting all. God bless you and a Happy New year to you.

'They're tonicising the ... minor chords with secondary dominants' I need to slip this quote into casual conversations a lot more.

The story goes that many ABBA songs were "born" in a simple cottage on a tiny Baltic Sea island. I don't know if "The Winner" belongs to those. You worked out the very basic ideas so well that I can very easily imagine the situation, jamming over some simple diatonic chord progression. And later finalized at Polar studio in Stockholm. Thank you for your journey into the core of that song👍.

Great breakdown. When you learn a tune this way, even if you don't remember the exact score years later, you can still restore it in your head step by step.

Absolutely fantastic tutorial! Makes learning process so much easier with deeper understanding on what is actually going on there. I tried to learn how to play this song using a sheet music awhile ago, and I failed miserably. The score was out of my league and too complicated, at least I thought that was. The way you teach this makes it impossible to forget and sounds great! Thank you Christian, you are a great teacher.

@christianklikovits2 ай бұрын
Hi Sandra, I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Almost everything I play in the video is shown in notation on the screen so you could just screen shot that. The only exception is one little verse part, where I was demonstrating how to improvise the accompaniment using the chord shapes that the notation is showing; the whole idea there is to improvise it, and not play it the same way every time...

Unbalanced tutorial...The first half of the tutorial is clear,comprehensible,easy to play for an intermediate,but the second part and moreover the last third is more like a speed run to the end of the piece, with all this complicated plated chords even more out of reach than a Bach sheet!!!!! It's too bad that your sheet is not downloadable....Thanks for your work anyway....

Hi Denys, sorry to hear you found this partly confusing. I think some of it is due to the fact that Benny Andersson's piano playing is just very complex; I already simplified it quite a bit. Here's a link to a PDF, hopefully that helps a little: drive.google.com/file/d/1Vlv_oaSolRl3_6YD7VplyjazFHBAy4Pd/view?usp=drive_link

This is my 5th year of piano,and I've learned relatively easyly the Moonlight sonata,the Turkish march,and a few Chopin's Préludes,and I get stuck with this Abba piece....Weird!!!!....Have a pleasant day,and a wave from Paris,France@@christianklikovits

You're right.....Like the 2nd movement of Beethoven's "Sonate Pathétique" probably...For the time being above my level,except the first part(my instructor rates the sonata grade 8/9)...I've browsed through various tutorials of the Abba song,and the playability really depends on the arrangements...Even basic melodies(Mozart's Twinkle twinkle little for example) are arranged to be only played by advanced performers,when it's so easy to play with the Alberti bases....But I always try to match the tutorial with my level....
