Hi m1469,

I shall be keeping an eye on this thread, as this is something I think I'll be interested in.

Right now Im thinking alot about the melodic treatment of accompanying voices, voiceleading chords, etc. Rachmaninov used to do this so well. I think the second movement of his 3rd concerto is a great example.

Be interested to hear what you have to say about this one.
