Very Early

This is the first new study in a quite a while. What's interesting about the melody of this piece and how it ties into all this open chord work I've been doing has to do with all the octave jumps. This study uses less voicings than many of the others and a smaller variety of colours on each chord. What it does well
is show how to create space with large intervals and how the effect isn't spoiled even when the melody tends to consistently fill in those gaps.

The upper staff shows the exact notes, the lower staff the chords played. Note how often the lower staff contains a 3 note chord where the upper staff outlines an easily playable 4 note chord. This is done intentionally to emphasize the difference between spaced out harmonization and melodic dips into the lower register.
