The Nightfly

I see that I spelled your name right. Where have you seen it wrong ?

Ok, First of all let me tell you my first impressions on your work. Why are the repeat marks and all the unnecessary detail at this stage? You really don't need them right now. It's always good to separate the compositional progress into sections. That's how I do anyway and it helps me concentrate better to the each section. The only reason I suggest you this because it makes it easier to compose and concentrate.

Now, within these themes of yours I want you to choose the one that you will like so that it will be the main theme or you could call it theme 1 or whatever really. It always helps me figure out the piece in advance if I limit myself to a limited number of materials. My materials would look somthing like this:

Melodic Materials: theme1 and theme2
Various transformations of theme1 and theme2
Rhythmic ideas (not always)
Form of the piece
Instrumentation
Lenght

When I limit myself with these and decide in advance the form, the length and the themes I would use, the rest is just technical knowledge and time. It would be wise if you decide each of these factors now and we would have the backbone of our piece.

Lets get back to your themes. as I said before, choose two contrasting themes from your "set of themes" and only post those in your next post. also consider the form, the lenght and any other idea that you would like to do with your piece.

When we have a clearer vision of the piece it will be much easier and be more fun for you to work on it.
