Kevin Moore - Beyond Salsa Piano - Vol. 5 Examples

An Instructional Piano Series by Kevin Moore

Estudio 4 combines two of the most interesting timba piano innovations: grace note arpeggios and extra notes in the left hand.

Estudio 32 also uses displacement, but in a much more accessible way. The 3-note opening figure comes on the front beat of the 2-side, then the offbeat before the 3-side and finally on the ponche leading into the second clave. To put it another way, it comes one subdivision earlier with each iteration, just like Estudio 30, but it resolves much sooner and in each case the accented notes fit strongly with the clave. Also note that the left hand uses thirds instead of single notes to fill in between the accented notes.
