Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1252028 By Bruce Dudley. By Bruce Dudley. Arranged by Bruce Dudley. Contemporary,Jazz,Pop,Rock. Score. 4 pages. Bruce Dudley #846212. Published by Bruce Dudley (A0.1252028). From the book 25 Piano Etudes in Idiomatic Styles, On The Way Up (Etude #1) is a chordal and rhythmic study that utilizes major triads in various inversions (played with the right hand) over different bass notes (played in octaves with the left hand), with syncopation occurring between the hands.  The resulting harmonies include dominant suspended 9th chords, as well as major 9th and minor 7th chords.  Played with even 8th notes in a relaxed yet driving manner, this Etude shares stylistic traits with diverse artists from Vince Guaraldi to Steely Dan.
