Prelude, juxtapose it with the future theme from VII. Conclusion, and transition from I.'s theme to VII.'s theme...

      Actually I have like 3 drafted! Sadly they've gone the way of this Allegro, and were put on the back burner because other compositions were closer to being ready for publication (Opuses 1-3). However, I currently have Sonata 1 slated as Opus 6, so I'd love to get it released in the near future

    Happy New Year! (And a late Merry Christmas!) A free PDF of this draft can be downloaded here: sonive.com/static/allegro%201.3-02.pdf Would you believe I wrote this over 5 years ago? After some tweaks, I'm hoping to publish it soon (though won't be in Opus 4 but likely a larger set). Also - I have another surprise in store related to digital sheet music, but I'll need just a little more time to get it ready…

    I really like the schumann symphonic etudes, they are always a pleasure to listen to. Do you happen to know why the supplemental variations werent published until later? Did Schumann himself reject them or was it the publisher? I have never really looked into it. Great playing as always! ❤

    • @grantdersom
      @grantdersom Месяц назад

      Thank you! It appears to be that Schumann rejected them, but then Brahms restored them in a later 1890 edition according to Wikipedia (or 1873, according to a different source). Also, when searching around I found that Tchaikovsky orchestrated the last two non-posthumous etudes/the Finale! Here's one recording: ruclips.net/video/uOG_D2d7M3A/видео.html

    This piece's 4 measures sound very similiar to Schubert's Serenade, which was probably composed around a similiar time. Chopin probably thought that this piece would've sound too similiar to it, so he never releases it. Similiar to what he did with his Fantasie Impromptu.

      @grantdersom 3 месяца назад

      Hey glad you like Op. 3! Actually some Etudes and a sonata are (mostly) drafted, but they will be a few opuses down the road - currently thinking like Op. 6-8 range. Here's a clue for Opus 4 (without spoiling the surprise haha): it will be a smaller Opus of a couple fast-moving pieces in "opposite" keys...

      I'm working on it right now actually! It's fully drafted, but there's still a good deal of refining to do. (I obsess a little over the details in the music, so apologies for the gap time between Opuses) Hopefully some uploads will be ready within a few months, but we'll see! As a clue to what Op. 4 will be: there are two pieces in the set, both are fairly dramatic, and the overall structure is the reverse of a certain Opus 111...

Sorry it's been taking so long - Finale (notation/music writing software) announced it was stopping development, so I spent a bit of time learning Dorico (newer notation software) and migrated all of Opus 3 to Dorico before publishing.
