Etude for arpeggios

Recommended Posts

Hi, I have made a simple etude for arpeggios. Hope it helps the development of pianist out there.

I adjunt a PDF , MP3 of how iy sounds and an image of how the pedal of measure 34 to 46 should sound.

Don't expect so much is pretty simple, musically talking.

Watch out for places like 17 where your octaves don't use the same accidentals.
Starting at 34 I enjoyed it a lot, though it could be far better engraved. 
I'm not totally in love with the left hand's melody. Sometimes I don't get it's function in some chords (i.e. m. 8, I see a G∆9 chord, but with the seventh on the bottom, which isn't a great voicing, even if that's what was intended). The rhythm also kind of has a weird momentum for it for me; it kind of push-and-pulls a lot, which isn't a bad thing necessarily, but it seems like it might be trying to be a tad too varied.

Thanks for pointing that out :3.

I, too, love the rhythms in the left hand. I'm not sure though that putting that rhythm with the ostinato arpeggios is a good match. The ostinato doesn't seem to accentuate or do anything to bring justice to the rhythm. 

 

what do you think that would be better?
