YING THE
PIANO
8) PLAYING WITH CONCERT MAGIC
The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach once said “Playing the keyboard is simple. Just strike the
right keys at the right time”. Many pianists wish it were quite that straightforward. Fortunately, KAWAI have devised
a method of playing the keyboard that is very simple, without even needing to strike the right keys.
With CONCERT MAGIC, absolutely anyone can sit at the CN41 piano and make real music - even complete beginners
who have never taken a piano lesson in their life. To enjoy performing with Concert Magic, simply select a favorite
piece from the 88 pre-programmed songs and tap any key with a steady rhythm and tempo. Concert Magic will provide
the correct melody and accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys are pressed. With Concert Magic anybody,
young or old, can enjoy playing music from the moment they sit down at the CN41 piano.
SELECTING A SONG
The 88 Concert Magic songs are assigned to each of the 88 keys, and classifi ed by song category into eight
groups, such as Children’s Songs, American Classics, Christmas Songs etc. Please refer to the separate ‘Internal
