Six Eight-Measure Studies (Series II)

Hello, everyone. First, I’d like to thank Luis Hernández, Gustav Johnson, and bkho for their comments and advice on my last upload over a month ago. They were very much appreciated and encouraged me to continue composing. Unfortunately I have been traveling frequently since then and as such have been unable to access a piano. This has caused the difficulty of my compositions to increase rather dramatically, and I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that some are virtually unplayable, though I have done my best to exclude chords beyond the octave. In the same way it would also not be surprising if some are in a key different to the one in which I have written them, the major focus of these studies (or expositions) being A Flat Minor. Consider No. 11, the easiest and only one not written in this key, as an apology for any such flaws. I should also mention that I am working on pieces longer than eight measures in length, but in the meantime any feedback you could give would be greatly appreciated.

The link is so small that I didn't noticed it was there at first sight.

Nice set. I think they are well developed, being so short. Nº 9 and 10 seem to fit better in 12/8.

No need to worry about that; for advanced pianists, this is certainly on the more approachable side.

Lovely stuff. As said before they're all playable. Are those photocopied images of the sheet music? They look a bit grainy.

I liked them all, probably most of them are in the intermediate- advanced level.
