Waltz with a haunting story... Luke Faulkner 2024-09-30 | Khachaturian was attempting to mimic an earlier world - that of the Romantic poet Lermontov - so created this vividly colourful waltz.

The Three Hand Effect in piano... Luke Faulkner 2024-06-24 | The "Three Hand Effect" is where there are the melody is sometimes split between the hands in the middle register whilst the left and right hands also do their own thing, giving the impression of three hands. The result is a texture with three clear components. This is a textbook example by Lyapunov (the apotheosis of his "Reverie du soir").It's a technique I borrowed for my Ave Maria arrangement.
