27.67Mozart-like versus Chopin-like
Very broadly:
Classical-era flavor
- lighter pedal
- clearer articulation
- compact harmony
- Alberti textures
- balanced phrases
Romantic flavor
- wider spacing
- richer pedal
- chromatic harmony
- expansive arpeggios
- rubato
- inner-voice expressiveness
We can borrow either language without trying to imitate a specific composer.
