Inner Tonal Movement, not to be confused with inner voice movement, can allow you to create time and motion in your music merely by DISPLACING the inner tones.
As a solo pianist it is essential to be able to keep a steady flow of time. Oftentimes, players who are coming from band settings will let the chord sit and hang there and in the process they lose that sense of time. With the inner tonal moves you are creating interest and establishing a pulse in your music by filling up the dead space. This is a powerful solo piano skill and will set your piano playing aside from a lot of others. Check out how this can be applied while orchestrating the melody the first 6 bars of "Wave". |
