Pieces on KEY MAPS
This page provides information and links to our sheet music on Key Maps - Key Maps provide vertical notation that maps the location of your fingers on the keyboard (pitch). The notes are on a timeline that shows the length of each note (rhythm). Key maps are the featured notation of this site. This page guides you to the individual pieces and collections that are notated as key maps.

About "Key Map "Versions" - We are providing sheet music in the four versions of key maps that we consider most promising. The "versions" of any key map are identical to each other except for the coloring of the notes. Note that these "versions" are NOT different versions of a piece - as in when the notes are arranged differently so as to change the sounds that are played - as when a difficult piece is arranged to be easier to play. These "key map versions" also should not be confused with the "notation versions" which are different versions of the notation: key diagrams, key maps, and grand staff. For more information on these versions, click on the above link.
About Key Map File Names - In addition to the key map titles, skill levels, and version codes, other useful information is included in the file names. If you want to know more about the information in the file names. click on this link.
