August 12, 201015 yr A short study for piano, used for developing arpeggio playing. . . Well. . . that was the idea, I personally don't play the piano if you think this would be a useful study comment below, else please comment on how to improve. N.B. I'm in the proccess of altering the dotted minims' to a set of 6 quaver notes.I will try and get a score up soon if enough people are intrested and a live play through of the piece. Etude no.1
August 12, 201015 yr Please don't take this the wrong way. But if someone who didn't play my instrument were to write an etude for my instrument, I wouldn't give it a second look. There's no way someone who doesn't play my instrument can write a study (that is what 'etude' literally means, 'study') that effectively helps me with my technique. I'm no piano player, and you did not include a score to look at where I might have a chance at giving my thoughts on the little I do know about it, so I'll leave the critiques on how effective your work is as an etude to the pianists. All that aside. For your next work, I'd encourage you to write a melody like you've been doing, but instead of slamming the chords down, write an equally important accompaniment part. It'll help keep the piece moving instead of being a series of notes, block chords and stops. Don't take it hard. :) Thanks for sharing! And welcome to YC. -Peter
August 12, 201015 yr Author I haven't figured out how to convert .sib files to .pdf, and I havent finished altering the chords yet. p.s perhaps don't play the piano was a half right statment, I can play just not this advanced yet.
