The larger keyboard - seven octaves - and improved mechanism opened up new possibilities of musical expression, which Chopin embraced.Ĭhopin’s influence can be heard in the technical piano studies written by Hungarian composer Liszt and the virtuosic concertos composed by Rachmaninov. More than any other composer, he developed a modern piano technique and style that is still heard and played today.

However, the interplay between the melodic and accompaniment elements in composition can be one of the most interesting features of a composition.Ĭhopin revolutionised piano writing by exploring the piano’s full potential. Within a piece for a solo instrument, the different lines are played simultaneously by one performer so it is important to be able to distinguish these in the music.Ī melody should be the centre of attention in the composition and the other instruments need to accompany it. For example modulating to the relative minor could mean that something negative has occurred since the original idea was first heard.īe aware that there is one line of melody and the ensemble is the accompaniment. Pay attention to new sharp and flat notes when moving from one key to another.Ī modulation can be used to change the mood of a piece. When composing a contrasting middle section, think of ways to vary dynamics, melodic material, time signature, instrumentation or key signature. The repeated A section could be played differently to help demonstrate the piece’s musical journey. It is important to think about how a repeated section can be reinterpreted in light of what has preceded it. Use ornamentation to decorate the melody - especially useful to implement in a solo.īy adding decoration to a melody shows variation in the repeating section. By understanding the effects of each may develop musicianship skills. Some of the techniques found in Frédéric Chopin's Prelude No.15 can be transferred to other performances and composing.
