Ètude nr 3 in C-minor for piano

Hello YC members,

Here is another piece, which I wrote some time ago.

Looking forward to your comments and critical viewpoints

Best regards

Nice. With a very classically harmonic shift structure in it.
The changes in it, take away from the fact it's supposed to be an etude a little bit, but I can see where you were going mostly.
Watch out for chord density; a lot of what we hear in accompaniment is secondary, so don't make it more focused, yeah?
Cheers!

Hello Monarcheon,

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Yes, it is constructed in a classical style. You will have noticed that I incorporated quite a number of dissonances, but they all still fit in the classical structure (as long as you play it at the correct speed.)

Your comment about the chord density was very interesting. My idea with this piece was to write a more or less continuous sequence of switching fairly dense chords for both hands, while maintaining a clear melodic line. As far as I know, there are not so many exercises of this kind.

I had not looked at this piece for a while, but when I played it again, I can see what you mean.  I noticed that several chords can be simplified without compromising the music at all. Since there is no point in making things more complex, if there is no musical purpose,  I am urged to have a go at a revision to remove non-relevant notes.

Thanks again for your excellent observation.

Best regards
