June 18, 201016 yr A piano piece whose title has eluded me for a year or two. Questions/Comments/Title suggestions are welcome! :)Note: Not being a pianist, I may be guilty of having composed one or two things that are physically impossible. Feel free to point those moments out. Untitled
June 18, 201016 yr I don't think the score's that horrible, you just need to make sure to space things out enough so that nothing is over-lapping and the player can see all of the instructions clearly. And the tempo markings should only be above the grand staff, the pedal markings only below (and only one is needed at a time, not one for each staff), if the dynamic is the same for both hands there should only be one dynamic marking, ideally placed in the middle of the grand staff. Also if you want it to speed up or slow down, you should use accel. or rit. respectively, and can you A Tempo or Tempo Primo to return the original tempo (but this isn't necessary, just a bit clearer). Some things I like: the way it starts with the tenor voice, and the bass comes it's all low and hard before the melody, then the whole left hand becomes a wonderful drone-y complex, the section with the a# (which should be spelled Bb, by the way to avoid a weird and unnecessary augmented second) has some unexpected melodic shapes and dissonances which don't really resolve until the recap-thingy, which makes it quite satisfying. The 32nd notes could be probably be turned into an unmeasured cadenza-like notation. Or if you transposed the entire piece up or down to F# or Gb, a black key gliss. would have a similar pentatonic sound, these keys are also generally easy to play on piano, even though they might be harder to read.
