1 hour ago1 hr Perhaps you haven’t quite understood what I meant. Piano writing is based entirely on vertical chords. That way of using the instrument fails to make the most of its polyphonic possibilities, and is even less appropriate in the Romantic style or any modern derivative of it.Yes, of course there are moments and compositions that use block chords on the piano, but this is for expressive purposes and in other styles (Impressionism, contemporary).
