Ètude nr 3 in C-minor for piano

Featured Replies

Hello YC members,

Here is another piece, which I wrote some time ago.

Looking forward to your comments and critical viewpoints

Best regards

Nice. With a very classically harmonic shift structure in it.
The changes in it, take away from the fact it's supposed to be an etude a little bit, but I can see where you were going mostly.
Watch out for chord density; a lot of what we hear in accompaniment is secondary, so don't make it more focused, yeah?
Cheers!

Hello Monarcheon,

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Yes, it is constructed in a classical style. You will have noticed that I incorporated quite a number of dissonances, but they all still fit in the classical structure (as long as you play it at the correct speed.:grin:)

Your comment about the chord density was very interesting. My idea with this piece was to write a more or less continuous sequence of switching fairly dense chords for both hands, while maintaining a clear melodic line. As far as I know, there are not so many exercises of this kind.

I had not looked at this piece for a while, but when I played it again, I can see what you mean.  I noticed that several chords can be simplified without compromising the music at all. Since there is no point in making things more complex, if there is no musical purpose,  I am urged to have a go at a revision to remove non-relevant notes.

Thanks again for your excellent observation.

Best regards
