Nice, yet short. I would like to hear the continuation. The left hand chords are continuously spanning more than octave, that might pose a technical obstacle to many performers.

I *LOVE* this so much! Light polytonality, atonality, modal, and jazz-influence all in one! I love the mixed rhythms, and intentional blurred pedaling, too. Makes it slightly unpredictable. Do you have more music like this? (I have been part of the forum for a very long time but returning after a long hiatus, so I don't recognize your posts.)

I assume this is a virtual realization as some of the notes are kinda punchy in the recording, and the pulse is so strict. Can I record this for my YouTube channel with a more human realization? I would likely use a much freer timing and not be locked into a rigid tempo as well. I won't be offended if you say no. (I am recording stuff early next week, so it would be posted in a few weeks.)

As far as the large spans, just expect a lot of players to roll those chords. I can reach them without any effort, but even I will roll 9ths like that to save my hands sometimes.

Hi @SonatainfSharp

I'm glad you like it.

Yes; I have written more pieces like this one, in this kind of impressionistic style, which I like.

Of course, you can play it, and do what you want with it. I'm not a professional composer, so my music is for anyone who wants it.

Regarding this piece, I understand that the ninth interval in all chords of the left hand can be difficult. But it was necessary to built the harmony by fourths. In fact this little piece was thought just to juxtapose harmony by 4ths (left hand) with a tonal center in Bb (the pedal tone) with harmony by thirds in the right hand.

If you are interested in listening to some pieces like this please email pistolilla@gmail.com   I can make a selection for you, most of them are in youtube or in my website. Or I can send you the score in pdf.

Best,

 

Luis.
