August 9, 200818 yr I wrote this piece (clowns walk) for education purpose.This is for painist to improve on articulation on different registers.To really have an effects on clowns walk i used decorations like glissando.spreading of chords and staccato in different registers.I believe this piece would be a good piece to work on articulations.Please give me soon feedback on my composition. piano solo 1.MUS piano solo 1.MID
August 13, 200818 yr as an etude I find this useful as a standalone piece i don't find this strong enough.
August 13, 200818 yr I can see what you're doing, but seeing as it is so short, maybe you could extend it a bit and try some more extreme registers for staccato etc. If its really going to be a study/etude for education and technique development. Also, maybe the bassline could have a bit more interest and movement. However, that said, it is quite a good piece and some nice harmonic movement is going on. Good work!
August 21, 200818 yr If you are thinking of this piece as something intermediate students would play and not something that would show up on a professional program, I think you did an amazing job. I am assuming that is what you mean by "Educational purposes," anyway.
August 30, 200818 yr I like this one! As a training piece for piano students, it's good as it is, but as a composition I would develop it further. You can take this one quite a bit further, I'm sure--two or three minutes should be easy, and rewarding. Run through all the changes you can think of, and the longer version would be a treat for the listener as well as giving the more advanced student more of a workout.:) Walter Rhoads Sacramento, California
