Original Concert Study (Devil's Music Box)
on: September 28, 2013, 06:10:06 AM
A whimsical, VERY chromatic five-finger exercise focusing on same-hand polyphony and a repeated figure for both hands. I may expand it.

Wow. That's the most awesome thing I listened to all day. (And I listened to 5 different Beethoven sonatas.)
Care to post the score? :)

Very enjoyable. I hope you do expand it, as I wanted it to go on longer.
