Arpeggio Etude for Piano


Recommended Posts

Hello people!  I'm working on my next giant variations project.  But, in the meantime Mike (@chopin) asked me to write an Arpeggio Etude for him for his upcoming Music Jotter Arpeggio feature exhibit.  "Music Jotter just implemented arpeggios (for chords, or arpeggiated chords), and the video will explain the difference between an arpeggiated chord and non-chord arpeggios."  The piece is short as I wrote it all completely in my small musical notepad that I carry around in my pocket everywhere I go.  Let me know what you think if you have any suggestions, constructive comments or critiques!  And thanks for listening.

Edit:  I'm including a 2nd rendition of the piece that Mike made for me using Music Jotter and 8DIO Steinway Grand 1969 sound samples.  Thanks Mike!

Edit no.2:  Also, check out what I have to say about how I created this piece in Why I Compose Music on Paper.

Man, the delay effect is trippy. I think the plain version of this piece without the effects is wonderful. With the effects, its very cool too, but I feel like emphasis and clarity of the notes get lost. But with the effects, this is more of a "mood piece" that reminds me of space. My favorite part is the unexpected key change in the middle, and the ending.
