Original piano composition - Study in D Minor
on: February 02, 2014, 01:11:54 AM
completely original composed by my son when he was 12 years old in 2012, without taking music composition course so far.
recorded on August 20, 2013.

What do you think? You are welcome to comment, thanks as always.

I thought it was very good!

Great that he is already composing at this age!


Does he improvise?

Start with the left hand alone. Try to create a two-voice texture, with good contrapuntal independence.

Gradually build the variety of character which the two voices are capable of channeling.

Eventually the other hand will want to get involved naturally here and there in various ways. Best to stick with one hand for quite some time, studying the possibilities with which one hand can create the effect of two independent players.
