Floating

I wasn't able to dedicate as much time as planned to composition today but had some interesting revelations while improvising. I discovered how I could use extracts from the Elgar slow movement to take the piece in a different direction and as a result managed to write quite a substantial bridge. However this had lead to an issue of pacing. The first section has lost it's balance as a result of the floating bridge. There will need to be a big extension made before approaching the bridge which in some sense is good news. I also have one more cipher I wish to include.

The good news was that I sat down at 8pm and improvised the closing section. The beauty of owning a clavinova is I have managed to catch the improvisation digitally which means I can transfer it as a midi file into Subelius for some serious editing.
