PeterthePapercomPoser Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 Hi @Cafebabe, In this style of music, the melody, motif or theme usually leads the development of the composition. But I think here you very often let yourself write arpeggios and typical accompanimental patterns without any melodic justification for them - just making your way through chord progressions and figurations over those chords for their own sake which (to me at least) don't sustain musical interest. A chord progression alone doesn't qualify as a motif or theme that can catch the ear, especially when it's ornamented with so much expendable fluff. There is however, a short recurring motif in this piece (C, EDC, GGG) but formally speaking you don't make the development of that motif the main focus of this piece, since the arpeggiations and fireworks and acrobatics aren't related to that theme at all and come off as simple fluff. That's at least how I perceive it. Thanks for sharing! 1 Quote
Luis Hernández Posted May 7, 2024 Posted May 7, 2024 It seems to have a lot of influence from Mozart and the like. What I don't see very clear is the "for two pianos". Maybe if there was a score. 1 Quote
