*Chromatic Etude for 2 Pianos*

Hello!

This is an interesting experiment of mine in quasi-melodic dissonance and strange harmonies. It's strangely catchy and is worth a look if only for the novelty of seeing something approaching atonality from me. ;)

Please let me know what you think!

Hey, this is a cool piece. I really liked all of those cross-rhythms in the beginning. I suspect that this is something of a compromise for you, as although piece certainly is chromatic and has many added notes, the pedal on b (at least in the beginning) gives the piece a tonal center. The playful middle section worked very well, and your transition into it was nice. It did remind me of some sort of demented platform game.

However, the ending seems a little abrupt. I think this could be lengthened for at least a little bit - 1:30 is fine for a monothematic piece, but your piece had definate contrasting sections. It may just be me, but I think this could be even more successful if it were a bit longer (mabye take some time to revisit each section and add additional 'commentary' on it, even doing something like reversing the roles of the 2 piano parts).

This is cool...I especially liked the section around :26. Interesting piece.

Good piece. At the beggining I got this sense of forboding and thought you were alluding to Chopin's wind Study. Have to agree its an unusual mix of chromaticism. At about bar 14 it kind of diverged off from the lyricism of the piece. I think you could incorporate the original material at the start into those particular passages. But otherwise good work.
