Slow the MIDI down to 40 BPM to analyze the right-hand runs. Evans uses "out" notes that defy standard scales; seeing them in a Piano Roll is the best way to learn his harmonic language. 5. Troubleshooting "Repacks" Note Overlap:
The piece is played in free time (rubato), meaning it doesn't follow a strict metronome. A basic MIDI "repack" might attempt to quantize these notes, which destroys the meditative flow.
Perhaps the most striking element in a MIDI repack of this piece is the empty space. Modern electronic music often fills the grid with 16th notes. The MIDI of Peace Piece is mostly empty.
