Just stuffing around on a piano for about a week breathed life to this piece. The study focuses on keeping in time during complex passages as well as large chords, arpeggios, pedal work, dynamics and broken chords in my current favourite key, E flat minor. Inspiration for this short-ish piece began on my usual daily grump about how disgusting the world is, but then I came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter as long as we have the gift of music. Aww.
Hope you like it.
Very classical. :)
What did you write/sequence this with?
Sibelius 6.
And after a lesson with my comp teacher, I decided that this piece will be lengthened into at least two minutes and converted into a piano duet. Shouldn't take me that long, school holidays begin tomorrow, and I now have a computer! ;)
Classical is what I was going for.
That part at the end broadsided me like a Mack truck.
;)
Sadly, the USB I kept the file on has done as USBs do and broke itself. I swear. I turned it into a duo and added some cool polyrhythms, and it fucking broke.

Hey it works now! And I've backed up my files! Yippee!
There's still a problem... The computer I'm on now has Sibelius 5... and the file is Sibelius 6, so can't be opened... I'm going to have to wait 6 days before I can get on to a school computer and crack it open in Sib 6.
Check the original post for the newest version: duo, longer, and cool cross rhythms.
Makes me wish I had headphones.
:O
This is now completed (http://soundcloud.com/angrypacman15/piano-duet%5B/url). It's done. No more work is to be done on it. It is just over 2 and a half minutes long. The ending is nowhere near as unexpected, threatening and shocking as it was before.
Enjoy.
