mr252 - 6-notes challenge piece

this piece only uses notes C, C#, E, F, G and G#.

it does sound a bit boring to me, all around the two chords, but overall i think it's nice, and the rythmic variations compensate for the lack of harmonies. and i really loved the challenge.

feel free to comment if you wish

I like how you made this sound so tonal. I'd say that it's more based around F, G, Ab, C, Db, and E, as it seems to be in F harmonic minor. I think it'd be cool to do different chord progressions with these notes; for example, C to Db, and Dbdim to Fm. Maybe some extended cadences between Db and Dbdim. As it is, you have a nice, Baroque-y piece with great use of rhythm, articulations, and texture to account for six missing notes.

thanks for your reply

it sure is in F-minor, i just don't distinguish Db from C# i also don't know what's a cadence, but i'll look it up to get your point.

i did try going into progressions like those you mention, but eventually found myself quickly getting back to Fm each time.

glad you like it

A very fine piece with good pianistic qualities. I especially like the use of repeated notes. It has achieved a very tonal Baroque feel with the six note limit hardly noticeable.

Euler, thanks for your comment, i'm glad you've enjoyed it
