Curvetude

May I invite you to listen to Curvetude for solo piano, with a style somewhere between a Chopin Etude and a pop ballad! Guaranteed to soothe your spirits..

Many thanks.

A piece with many shades of brightness and darkness that seamlessly blend into each other.  The piece stays interesting through many cool modulations and introduction of new sections in (from what I can tell) remotely related keys.  It's amazing how you keep the piece going for such a long time.  The texture pretty much stays the same throughout although the piece is not without it's contrasts.  I love the recapitulation (somewhere after the 10 minute mark).  The harmony is really beautiful in the main theme.  I love the gradual segue's into more and more remote chromaticisms that you accomplish in this piece.  It does sound unfinished though like it comes to rest on a half cadence and then there's 45 or so seconds of silence at the end?  Thanks for sharing and I hope you finish it!
