haiku #577: Curve of time -/  a thought takes flight, / scent of a rose.

Step right up for Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, where piano playing transforms into a thrilling and daring spectacle! Dive into this masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of piano technique while tickling your eardrums with a devilish twist.

Chopin was like the mad scientist of Etudes, experimenting with split chords, thirds and octaves, counter-motifs, and arpeggiated chord constructions. The result? An innovative musical landscape that would make even Beethoven raise an eyebrow.

Etude No. 12 is Chopin's pièce de résistance, a fiery expression of passion that storms the stage with hurricane-like intensity. This powerhouse piece showcases heroic melodies, accompanied by stormy waves of left-hand passages – it's like Beethoven's symphonies cranked up to eleven!

Chopin's genius lies in his ability to turn melody into a living force. The Revolutionary Etude is a testament to that, as tension and relaxation weave together to form a harmonious whole. And thanks to Chopin's mastery of counterpoint, the piece achieves an unparalleled level of expression.

Even the likes of Liszt and Schumann had high praise for Chopin. Delacroix called him the "purest and best-tasting artist" he'd ever encountered. Liszt compared his music to an Aeolian harp that could magically blend all musical scales. And Schumann said Chopin's playing was like a "deep fundamental tone and a soft continuously-singing upper voice."

The Revolutionary Etude is a workout for the left hand, demanding precision, neatness, and respect for Chopin's writing. Accents every four semiquavers and a rapid tempo make this Etude an exhilarating challenge for any pianist.

So, buckle up for a rollercoaster ride of technical mastery and unbridled passion with Chopin's Revolutionary Etude – it's a musical adventure that'll leave you breathless! 🎹🔥🌪️

Night drags darkness over the field.
I jump over the waterway and flee the oncoming night.

I translated Vincenzo's haiku from Italian, and made some minor variations. I hope you'll find it inspiring.

I read the haiku and imagined the smell of a rose and all the interesting places our memories can go to.  All sounds are native devices in Ableton Live, using my own presets/racks, all being played by multiple instances of a sequencer I put together in Max For Live with the help of Claude.ai. 

This original version of "No Drip" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 577, Curve Of Time.
