Gustav Johnson Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Very lovely! I love etudes and studies in certain ideas like your exploration of arpeggios, scales, etc. for every key. You did a good job! I found some notes that overlap in #3, but otherwise pretty flawless 🙂 Gustav 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawoodruff Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 First one: I think a little bit of variety would do well here. Doesn't seem to be much until the end. Second one: I love the brevity of material here -and feel you could have done a bit more with it. Similar to the first one, your variation of the material doesn't provide as much variety. Third one: This one has a more playful nature to it -that I like. One thing that would really benefit this one is a bit more contrapuntal usage. Not sure if you thought about maybe transforming the base material of this into a more fugue-like passage, but it would lend itself well. I'm curious why these are all listed as being in C major? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2east Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Cool pieces! I like the 2nd one (in C minor) the most! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panta rei Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 The pieces are fine and could be useful. Thanks for sharing them. However, I would like to see more coherent melodies as well as more harmonic variations , possibly with some purposeful dissonances ( there is some of it in your second piece). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some notes that overlap in #3, but otherwise pretty flawless 🙂 Gustav Those notes are supposed to be played at the same time by 2 fingers, as 2 independent voices. One example of this happening by greatest composer is Bach's Inventio no.1 where he does overlap 1 note for each hand, near the final part of the piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! They're in c#, c minor and c major, not c major all. Read again. The # can't be written, so it deleted and seems as C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawoodruff Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Yeah, I saw it in your description, but the file name struck me as odd -so figured I'd ask in case it was a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
