Some etudes.
on: February 18, 2013, 01:33:32 PM
These are some etudes on everything from crossing and alternating hands, octave studies, polychords, polymodality, etc. But I like to make each etude a fully fledged composition and narrative in and of itself too, as Chopin or Scriabin would do. I have several hundred of these, but I figured I would start off here with just a few.
