 Practice improvising the above C major 8 measure period in 2/4 meter with modulation to D minor and back to C major in 4 parts this way:
1. Place the bass in the left hand or pedals and supply the missing 3 upper parts 2. Above the bass line you can see the numbers of intervals that should be calculated above the bass 3. A sharp next to the number means that this note is sharpened 4. A flat next to the number means that this note is flattened 5. Make sure you avoid parallel fifths and octaves by moving the upper 3 parts in opposite direction than the bass Take a slow tempo, aim for legato touch and 3 correct repetitions in a row. Post time and the number of repetitions to comments. |
