Abstract
One of the most common things I hear from composers is “well I’ve found this nice idea, I really like it, but I just don’t know what to do next, I don’t know how should I carry it on”. Sometimes rather than continuing to hunt in the dark you should just work with what you already have. In this video I look at the musical technique of Variation as a way of turning your initial idea into a larger piece.
