Étude in G sharp minor

Greetings.

This is my second post on the Young Composers community, and I would like to present my recent piano composition. This piano piece is a short étude in the key of G sharp minor, a study for developing right-hand dexterity. Besides, this composition was an attempt to write a perpetuum mobile, consisting of notes of equal length played rapidly.

Let me know what you think about this piece. I hope you will enjoy it!

P.S. The audio was generated in MuseScore 2.3.2.

I really like it, thought I wonder if it would sound better if it were a bit slower.

Very good piece! It reminds me of Chopin's Op. 69 first phrase beginning a lot, piece I like a lot, and it rapidly takes a detour and find its own path. It would be fantastic if anyone out there played it, as despite of plain musescore 2 doing its best, there is nothing (at least not any free software) that could replace some skilled pianist :). On a side note, some brief rit. musescore does don't seem to be marked (measure 22-23, 67-68 for example). The end is very satisfying to hear, loved the last arpeggio.

Kind regards; thank you for sharing it!

Hi @Carl Koh Wei Hao,

I enjoy this very much and I am the same with Daniel that it reminds me of the Fantaisie-Impromptu! The modulation to Eb major reminds me the second movement of Chopin's Third Piano Sonata and the Eb major section of his first ballade. The accented chords of b.80-81 seems unrealistic but other than these the recording is great! Your ending is great with that tranquillo and misterioso touch. Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad this piece has been retaken from past entries. It's good work. The modulations are soft and perfectly developed. The only thing I miss is a bit of "rest". Although the piece is not long, the speed needs a bit of slower contrast, in my opinion.

Hi there, really impressive work, I agree with Luis that it could benefit from 1 or 2 slower passages, but otherwise, really nice and coherent piece. Thanks for sharing !
