Letters on the keyboard

Every tile is one key. The letter is the note's name, the coloured strip matches the key below, and a dark tile is a black key. Read the top row with your right hand; the smaller row underneath is the left hand.

Wider tiles last longer and a line through a tile means hold it. New to letters? Start with the top row only: switch off "Left hand".

Press Listen to hear the song while the letters light up, then Practice: the sheet waits on each letter until you press that note, on your computer keyboard or on the keys that open under the sheet.

Middle C is C4. The letter on a tile is the key to press; a dark tile is a black key (a sharp or flat).

Pathétique Sonata letter notes: FAQ

What are the letter notes for Pathétique Sonata on piano?

The right hand opens with C A♭ E♭ B♭ G E♭ E♭ E♭ B♭ E♭ D♭. The full melody is above, one phrase per line, with the left hand underneath in smaller letters.

How do I read piano letter notes?

Each letter is a white key named after it; a dark tile is a black key.

  1. C is the white key just left of the two black keys; the keys go up C D E F G A B and repeat.
  2. A # (sharp) is the black key just right of the letter; a ♭ (flat) is the black key just left of it.
  3. Wider tiles are held longer. Switch on "Letters + octave" to see which C: middle C is C4.
Can I play Pathétique Sonata on my computer keyboard?

Yes. Switch the sheet to "Computer keys" and every note shows the key that plays it on our free virtual piano, which also plays the song for you and lights up each key.

Is this the full song?
