I had not played it since and I had to sit down and transcribe it again.  So, here I present to you in tab and notation form my arrangement of Pannonica.  <\/p>\n<p>It is a difficult arrangement to play and requires a lot of palm blocking, as you will no doubt find out.  You will also notice that there is a behind the bar string pull in which the note is pulled up 1\/2 step and held, then released when changing bar position.  It is very easy with some practice and a tough ring finger.<\/p>\n<p>This is what it sounds like.  You may note there is a discrepancy between what is written and what I played in the 32nd bar.  What is written is correct with regard to Monk&#8217;s melody.  I&#8217;m not sure what I was thinking when I made the slight change (basically a half step difference), but nonetheless, I have corrected it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F25206652&#038;show_artwork=true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lapsteelin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Pannonica11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lapsteelin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Pannonica11.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Pannonica.tef\" width=\"633\" height=\"709\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1316\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lapsteelin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Pannonica11.jpg 633w, http:\/\/www.lapsteelin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Pannonica11-267x300.jpg 267w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lapsteelin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Pannonica21.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lapsteelin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Pannonica21.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Pannonica.tef\" width=\"618\" height=\"682\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1317\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lapsteelin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Pannonica21.jpg 618w, http:\/\/www.lapsteelin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Pannonica21-271x300.jpg 271w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Listen to Monk play it:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aSHkPCW8dN4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, I watched a documentary on Barroness Pannonica Rothschild and I remembered that I had once worked out an arrangement for the brilliant tune Monk wrote in her honor, simply entitled &#8220;Pannonica&#8221;.
