Patreon Etudes Volume 2 

whee11ed Hey, just wanted to say I really loved and enjoyed your piece!

@@jzonda415 thank you Joshua. Compliments on your composition in volume 1. For me it was a standout piece and the performance was, well, like watching Data. Amazing! 👍

@@jzonda415 you are a madlad

@whee11ed I have to chime in too, I really liked your piece as well!

Favorite piece in this series.

it's very nice however it has shades of the valse no.3 by Antonio Lauro

@@Ana_crusis I have never listened to that before. I will have to check it out

@@brianalford7023 there's also a case where you have Cb in one hand and B natural in the other, make sure to make a decision on which one it's supposed to be

@@grahamthomason8796 Thank you, I agree it looks cleaner, I'll look out for that in my future work.

Dance of the heptapods is awesome too, really remibds me of Kapustin!

Your piece was really nice!

Mikkis thank you so much, Mikkis!

That was beautiful!

@@grahamthomason8796 would that differ from alternating bars of 4:8 and 3:8?

@@grahamthomason8796 here's a comment from a friend of mine who is a drummer and a tango teacher. I wonder if you agree with his analysis.... (Nice Piece! 🙂 ). From looking at the notation while listening to how it's actually being interpreted (played), I'd say that the effect that he's after is to make the last 3 quaver pattern sound consistent (i.e. not identical, but compatible) *regardless* of whether it's a bar of 7/8 or of 5/8 - i.e. it should feel to the listener that the major change has occured in the *first* part of the bar... This is more about how to notate the *change* from 7/8 to 5/8 than about how to notate those bars themselves??? Does that make sense as I've written it? Bear in mind that I'm definitely **not** a pianist, but I'd still say that the more complex notation in terms of time signature isn't required - the groupings within the bar have already achieved it... But if the composer thinks more guidance is required for the reader and it's worth the extra complexity to ensure that, then that's their call... As I said earlier, there s no one 'correct' solution when choosing time signatures.... Never seen this done before though... Personally I wouldn't even have noticed the notated time signature change - I'd have been skipping my eye along looking for groupings to recognise... In practice that's how you sight read 'complicated' groupings of notes at high speed when playing from sight for the first time... It's a bit like recognising word *shapes* (rather than individually reading every letter of every word first and reconstructing. before reading) when reading aloud to an audience a piece you've never read before ... 😉
