Tips for playing Level 5 "For una Cabeza":

This Level 5 arrangement of "Por una Cabeza" plays the melody and harmonic notes all with the right hand which is the most challenging part of this level of "Por una Cabeza." The left-hand plays the bass accompaniment. And this level has even more of the rhythmic syncopations with both hands than Level 4. The damper (sustain) pedal markings are not provided at all. However, we recommend using the pedal here and there especially the 1st 2 beats of most measures on the 1st page and 2 pedal replacements in most measures on the 2nd page. Please play louder (forte) on the notes with the accent signs to make this song sounds very passionate. You can refer to our free complete audio sample on the top of this page before and after purchasing it. This arrangement is written for piano solo. However, you or someone else can sing along. The separate Spanish lyrics page is included in the PDF file.
