Diabelli Project 221 - Piece for Piano, Part 7

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 last measure of the second system. We begin with a grand sweep up the keyboard. A younger version of myself would have made the high A the climax. Instead, I dropped back down to the C, giving the run (hopefully) a kind of bounce.

I'm not through with the sweeping gestures, though. The left-hand roves up and down while the right presents a version of the opening melody.

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.
