74.94Mini-composition exercise

Write 32 bars using a simple progression but sophisticated harmonic placement.

Requirements:

• first 8 bars: mostly downbeat changes
• one RH-only anticipation
• one bass-only anticipation
• one delayed chord change
• one melody-first arrival
• one tonic pedal spanning at least two upper-harmony changes
• one dominant region with fast color rhythm
• one offbeat real harmonic change repeated as a motif
• one chord omitted on the second pass of a phrase
• one cadence where tonic arrives in at least three stages
• final 4 bars return to simple downbeat harmony

The listener should feel development even though the actual chord vocabulary stays conservative.
