Keep Warkin'...
I'm almost finished Disco Infernote now...I think anyway. I put a few hours of work into it on Tuesday night and I added in some parts to make the transition between the sections a little smoother. Also I wanted to get the music to the instrumentalists a little earlier so that they had more time to look at the piece before playing it. (It can be difficult to get accurate feedback in class when we start and stop so much...) The piece begins with a pretty typical disco-type passage, with just chords in the piano and a simple violin part. This first section sets up the cliche, and then there are some atonal chords in the violin and the piano that create a transition from this section to the second section. This section focuses on the piano as it slowly moves into the walking octave bassline. After this section theres a brief section (section section section) that puts the melody in the violin and veers "off the rails" in terms of tonality. After another section with atonal-ish chords in the piano, a bass-riff comes back into the piano and the solid chords in the right hand also come back. The violin is given a solo that resembles an electric guitar solo, and there are hints of the walking octave bassline coming back into the piano. This is probably where I'll end the piece, but I'd like to get some feedback.
