Diabelli Project 215-224 Piece for Piano

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.

Below is the finished version of the Piece for Piano. Even though I wrote it, the music sometimes surprises me with its twists and turns. I'm sure they're there because I didn't write it in one continuous session, or even over several consecutive days,

During that weeklong gap between sections, I often forgot what I was intending when time stopped. But I would also come up with something different. And breaking out of my familiar creative tracks is what the project is for.










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.
