For a fast perfomance you have to do a certain wrist movement (i heard).What kind of wrist movement is it? Do you have to turn your hand(wrist) to the direction of the notes, or just or only turn over your hand (and not pointing).
Thanks Rich,Yes, I never planned on analysing the piece as constant modulations (a minor detail overlooked ), which must be why I have many major second scale degrees and such!
In measure 4 you say that the notes comprising the first three beats (F#, A, C, E) form a V7 of G maj, but wouldn't this be a vii%7? How did you know that this is actually a V65 suspension (where the E becomes a D)?
I don't quite understand the suspensions of measure 7 (and as far as how to write them). The given notes are G, C, F, Ab, and D. How did you know that the chord was a V root position when the B is not yet existent as well as ignoring non-chord tones? For instance, I probably would've chosen to ignore the G and call it a ii%65! I guess you need measure 8 to really know this?...
I'd also like some clarification on measure 60 on the third and fourth beats. This is a diminished chord (Ab, C, Eb, F#) so is it named according to the letter names of the notes (as in F# being the bass, but an inversion)? Because on the piano, the notes are, obviously, equally spaced in a diminshed chord making it impossible to tell what scale degree it is and which inversion - as it inverts it just becomes a root position in a new scale degree!
i move the wrist in shape of the lower half of a circle (if the arpeggio is played by finger #1 - #5) or as the upper half of the circle (for arpeggios played by fingers #5 - #1).
Sorry, i dont know what you mean with the 'upper' or lower half of the circle, do you mean like clockwise?thanks, gyzzzmo
I now think that bar 4 is better expressed as a secondary dominant, in this case V of V.
This chord would contain five notes, but in four-part writing it is the convention to miss out the root when this chord is used in any of its inversions - that could partly explain why there is no D.
I've decided that there is only one suspension here, a 4-3. The chord is otherwise a dominant minor ninth, with the notes G, B (suspended as a C), D, F and A flat.
Does that answer any of your questions, or does it create more?
Is this written V of V in its most proper notation?
This is very interesting.. I've not yet come across these rules but I'll take your word for it . But why do you say there is no D? Beat four contains the much-anticipated D resulting from the questionable suspension.
What about the Ab resolving to the G in m. 7-8? Is this not a 9-8 sus?
what about beat four of measure 8.. the D raises a half-step. This isn't even a chord!
Dear anda,your english skills are dazzling me. Never i've seen somebody writing such as these remarkable and poeticly quality, since shakespeare.So i'm convinced your able to explain yourself in grace.Your amazed fan,Gyzzzmo
