'Happy Prancing' (2020) by #DirkTomandl
This #OriginalComposition for piano is a short, happy little piece, virtuous and expressive. Imagine a playful show-off who wants to impress - in a gentle, fun way.

Please enjoy this original piano composition in beautiful late romantic-era style inspired by Sergei Rachmaninoff with a few hints of Frederic Chopin!

The score can be downloaded (for free!) from here:

I used the Artificial Intelligence software Musenet as compositional idea generator. How to compose with Musenet? The video "How to use AI to compose Classical Music" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODasvwQFHKs&list=PLbG6g-0Kt-BdgBGG9DjJ95cy-DbZ3-Wyp) as well as the playlist itself have detailed descriptions about the process.

For this piece, I used mostly Rachmaninoff style but Musenet got stuck in the initial theme. By switching several times to Chopin style for a few seconds of music, I managed to guide Musenet towards more musical variation and a nice ending.

After some rough editing and error fixing in a DAW (Reaper),  Igor Gerasimenko (https://www.fiverr.com/igormusicc/transcribe-or-create-a-professional-music-transcriptions-for-piano) did a great job in creating a draft score. This score was used as starting point for the actual composition in Dorico. For the Piano sound I used the wonderful PianoTeq VST.

Now: Close your eyes, open your mind, imagine listening to a piano player improvising in late romantic-era style with a few hints of Rachmaninoff and a tiny bit of Chopin and some #DirkTomandl.
