Hi Patrons!! All the missing MIDI/audio files coming in 24 hours if I can get a stable enough internet connection, I'm not at home at the moment, but for now I hope you enjoy this little Etude :)
Chopin. Wrong Note Etude. The most common way I see this piece described is in two words: 'beautiful mess', 'harmonic dissonance', or 'perfectly imperfect' - but deeper than just this "mess" of "dissonance", more than anything I hear something like bittersweetness. The ebb and flow of tension and resolution that radiates out like a fractal, first in the 'wrong notes', but further in the melodic and harmonic shapes, and then in the whole structure of the piece - it's almost like a metaphor for life with our pleasure-and-pain-filled days, months and years. I also just want to let you all know that I'm taking a break from YouTube in January - which will be the first break since the start of this channel, in almost 2 years! There are so many amazing things I want to make for you outside of just YouTube videos, but have to take some time off from the relentless stress and deadlines that come with weekly (or bi-weekly) uploads! Thank you for the amazing year, I hope you have a great start to 2020 - and I'll see you all again in February ♥
