October 19, 20223 yr Piano arrangement of the Hungarian folk song Kis kece lányom in 5 variations. This is only the midi recording, but I have played the first 4 variations in another video.
December 3, 20223 yr Very well done! I love the modulation to C minor while keeping the folk song still in G minor (5). The line cliches you employ are sparsely used but give a great and beautiful major 7th dissonance to the melody. The diminution of the melody at choice spots also gives great rhythmic excitement and drive. About this: ... Couldn't you have put the treble clef a beat later? That's way too many ledger lines, as I'm sure you know. Also, is this: a mistake? You have F natural in the right hand and F# in the left. Seems like an accidental cross relation to me. On the other hand I found this tonic/dominant clash as well chosen and sounding quite well imo. There are some people who would be appalled at this kind of major add 4 or add 11 type of sonority but I think it can be quite beautiful if handled correctly. Does this folk song have some kind of personal or sentimental value to you? Great job and thanks for sharing!
December 3, 20223 yr Very good, I love this kind of folk music, where the melody is supported by stepwise chromatic movements up and down. It is a great platform for variations with advanced harmonics. Bartok was of course a master in doing this, but your variations are also very nice! Can you tell us what this song is about? Is there a text in English?
