Noodle Challenge Day 29
Make an Exit
“Ends are not bad things,
they just mean something else is about to begin. ”
Noodle Info
Have you noticed that some standard repertoire just ends without much notice?
The composer lands on the final chord, and that’s it.
Nothing memorable.
Don’t get me wrong—I appreciate simplicity, but sometimes it’s nice to add a touch of bling to the end of a piece.
Watch the video below to see how I might change an ending or two and how Clementi stands out among some other major composers.
I don't mean to judge or offend legendary composers; I am just playing the “What If I” game! 😉
Your Challenge
Now it’s your turn to play the “What If I” game.
Choose a favorite piece that could use an exit “remodel.”
Tips:
Borrow a snippet or motive from the ending phrase and repeat, then land on the tonic.
Borrow patterns found earlier in the piece and end on the tonic.
Extend the end by repeating the final chord in various ranges and inversions.
EXTRA:
Recall and review one of your favorite noodles and add an ending that makes it sparkle.
Always ask yourself: What if I?
