I sometimes help my children with their piano practice when they're learning hands separately by doing the other hand, and I find it almost impossible to resist adding a Picardy third at the poignant ending of any piece in a minor key... much to their amusement/annoyance.
- bonzini 7y agoI remember my teacher doing the opposite when we were singing too slow or soft; he would randomly start accompanying in minor or just switch to minor in the last bar.
- hunter2_ 7y agoI always did react to the Picardy third with a bit of an eye roll, as one does to dad jokes, so you're onto something there.
- jlarcombe 7y agoThe other favourite, of which I never seem to tire, is a quick "shave and a haircut, two bits" over the dying notes...
