Luis Hernández Posted May 19 Posted May 19 It sounds good, although it sounds more like an exercise than anything else because the bass is uncomplicated. The final chords sound like a harpsichord. Quote
Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Hi @Cafebabe, This makes a good prelude in Bachian style! Although I will reduce the occurrence in the 1st beat when both the RH and LH hit the same note. A 3rd or 6th will sound richer! Thx for sharing! Henry Quote
PeterthePapercomPoser Posted May 23 Posted May 23 Hi again @Cafebabe! I think the Ab in meas. 18 should be a G# since the chord there is E major. This prelude is a little virtuosic almost like Chopin's "Aeolian Harp" Etude where the right hand has to sometimes skip/jump wide distances to hit a melody note before returning lower to finish playing its harmonic pattern. Although my complaint here is that there is very little here that qualifies as melody. To me, it sounds like a series of chords but filled-out with some creative arpeggio's/figurations. The beginning does start like a melody but then when you take the figurations through consecutive harmonic changes, the melody loses any semblance of interesting melodic contour to me. That's my critique. Thanks for sharing and keep composing! Quote
