Diabelli Project 218 - Piece for Piano, Part 4

The Diabelli Project is about offering my weekly flash-composition sketches freely to all. Like Antonio Diabelli's theme, these sketches aren't great music. But perhaps (as in Diabelli's case) there's a Beethoven out there who can do great things with them.

I decided to try writing another complete piece in 10-minute weekly installments. It's definitely exercising a different set of creative muscles than my daily work requires.

This week's installment of the Piece for Piano begins in the fourth system. I don't really have much to say about this one. The music continues to push to a new climax, but we're not there yet. I will say that the odd meters were a bit of a surprise. I just didn't feel the need to fill out 4/4 bars with superfluous notes, I guess.





When I ran out of time, the left hand seemed to be in a holding pattern. But holding for what?
As always, you can use any or all of the posted Diabelli Project sketches as you wish for free. Just be sure to share the results. I'm always curious to see what direction someone else can take this material.
