Grand Dance No. 1: "Trance Macabre"

The first piece from my set of Grand Dances, and an intense exhibition of pianistic violence. My first attempt at manual notation. Written for 2 pianos. Even though the sound file is computer generated, I wrote this piece acoustically, so this is not necessarily how i would expect it to sound if it were performed.

Great piece! I like some of the expression markings. A better phrase for "build" would be something like Stringendo. Study the music of Reger learn a bunch of Expression terms... Great piece though. How long did this take to write?

@Bachlives2 thanks mr. bach. I tried to keep my expressions english on the most part. i wouldn't have used a stringendo there since i wanted to maintain a constant tempo until the very end. it took about a month and a half to write this

I absolutely love you music, and it's a shame that you obviously stopped uploading your own pieces. I'd love to hear more!

Please see my channel comment. Do I hear a bit of Shostakovich going on here and there? Ditto on the expression markings. Thank you very much! Oh, and I would love it if you could play in on a Steinway in a hall.

I love this,

but how the Hell do you expect anyone to dance to this?!

This may be my own projections upon this fantastic piece, but I spy a bit of Ligeti influence in here. :D
