What Kind of Future (With Korean lyrics and chords)

Please, notice that the vocals are written using a treble clef with the numeral 8 below it 𝄠 (a suboctave clef). This indicates that the pitches sound one octave below the written score. Play the right hand one octave lower than written.

You can omit playing the E drone note in the left hand.

Remember that the notation system was not intended to represent the sound of modern pop music with its layered vocal, computer-generated sounds, and inflections of modern electronic instruments. My piano sheet music can only show you the score within the boundaries of the twelve-note scale and a metered rhythm; alas, the pitch and rhythm have little to do with the aesthetic value of the track. Listen to the song before practicing to fully imitate the beauty of the song: its *timbre, phrasing, inflections.* Play the song, not sheet music. Sing a phrase before playing it on your keyboard.

Imitate the vocal delivery by Woozi or it won't sound as the song. The vocal part is rhythmic but with pitch inflections (slurred notes). All inflected notes should be played very quietly. A predominant vocal style is *legato*.

Notice arpeggiated chords in the intro. Play them as arpeggios, not as simple chords.

"어떤 미래" is played with a double rhythm in simple time 3/4. It is hard to count for beginners so omit the double rhythm altogether unless you are confident in counting; accent strong beats to maintain a steady pulse. Practice "어떤 미래" slowly along with the recording.

To keep listeners attention, the *chorus* was made to be the biggest part of the song. Play every part differently, as expressively as possible. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.

A single vocal line accompanied by an instrumental part constitutes the entire musical texture. _"어떤 미래"_ has a semi-improvised, loosely organized and wandering melody and homophonic arrengement: the instrumental part provides a harmony to support the vocal but lacks its own melody.

"어떤 미래" is transcribed in the original *key,* E Major, and uses basic/extended major and minor chords *A B E C♯m7 F♯m G♯m* almost everywhere.
