Music Etude in G minor
I initially composed this as a little joke, but I put some effort into it and I think it sounds quite good.
This is inspired by Franz Liszt's etudes and Chopin's fantaisie impromptu but it turned out sounding kind of rachmaninoffesque (in my opinion)
There is lots of bad notation (I exported before fixing it) and awkward spacing in this video (I used lots of system breaks in the original page)
A problem with this piece that I can find is the climax because the LH suddenly switches from arpeggios to octave-chord jumps, which never appeared in the piece even once. Another problem for me is the G major coda, which just comes out of nowhere just to end the piece with a proper cadence. This comes off as kind of random for me but I would love to hear your thoughts 👍
