98.125Level 76 — write arrangement rules in words
For one tune, write 10 rules.
No notes.
Example:
- Intro uses motif fragment.
- First A stays sparse.
- Bass becomes stepwise into B.
- No block chords before final chorus.
- One backdoor cadence per chorus maximum.
- Fills only in rests.
- Second chorus adds walking.
- Bridge thins.
- Final A highest register.
- Coda returns intro rhythm.
Now perform from rules.
