[Piano Solo] Watching it Snow(.mp3, folder)

[uncloned]

I followed Petr Parízek's ( tuning list Message #86387 ) advice to improvise in Hanson tuning.

This is what I made:

the improvisation was edited.

Details (score etc.) can be found linked here:

Or... http://micro.soonlabel.com/just/hanson-19/

The meat of the difference is below

And here are the intervals those ratios turn out to be. Note – in 12 EDO ("normal" tuning) each half step is 100 cents – so any deviation from 100 cents and multiples thereof (200, 300, ....) is "microtonal" even if the name is the same.

Interval class, Number of incidences, Size:

1: 11 25/24 70.672 cents classic chromatic semitone

2: 7 27/25 133.238 cents large limma

3: 7 9/8 203.910 cents major whole tone

4: 7 125/108 253.076 cents semi-augmented whole tone

5: 15 6/5 315.641 cents minor third

6: 12 5/4 386.314 cents major third

7: 6 125/96 456.986 cents classic augmented third

8: 13 4/3 498.045 cents perfect fourth

9: 11 25/18 568.717 cents classic augmented fourth

10: 11 36/25 631.283 cents classic diminished fifth

11: 13 3/2 701.955 cents perfect fifth

12: 7 25/16 772.627 cents classic augmented fifth

13: 12 8/5 813.686 cents minor sixth

14: 15 5/3 884.359 cents major sixth

15: 9 125/72 955.031 cents classic augmented sixth

16: 10 9/5 1017.596 cents just minor seventh

17: 7 15/8 1088.269 cents classic major seventh

18: 11 48/25 1129.328 cents classic diminished octave

For what it is worth here is a harmonic analysis of my composition Watching it Snow.

http://micro.soonlabel.com/just/hanson-19/analysis-of-watching-it-snow.zip


The analysis is in the tuning it was composed in - Hanson 19 - so, for instance, a tritone = a major 3rd. The tonal center is (an arbitrary)  E below middle C.

This is a very happy piece, i was expecting a lot "sadder", and perhaps slower melody, associated with the snowing.
I could imagine kids playing outside on the playground and people walking on the sidewalk, all with a sunny afternoon environment.

And yea, must take the chance to say, you are the biggest composing whore that i've ever saw. It's just no way i can keep with reviewing all your pieces, but nevertheless, i can say that almost all of them sounds very unique and worth to listen to. I'm always amazed, how can you devote so much time and creativity to all these composings.

Thanks for the listen and comment Psi!

I just really enjoy writing music - especially just sitting down and doing it.
