Scherzo In C Sharp Major, Op. 1, No. 1

One of the first practice recordings I made. I was practicing excerpts of Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor.

Created: 3/3/2017
Pianist: J. Triumvirate
Piano: Schimel Grand Piano

Improvisation/Practice Session: 67

This is the second of the five pieces published under Opus 1. This piece was primarily conceived and executed as a series of improvisations. There is minimal harmonic variation, but I think the simplicity of the piece helped me develop as a composer.

Impromptu, Op. 1, No. 2

This is a strange piece to me. It feels like two different people wrote it. An amateur wrote the beginning and a more experienced composer wrote the end. There's parts that I really like and parts that I find intolerable. It's very strange. Perhaps one day, I'll go back and rewrite this as a professional.
