Fantasy for piano and Orchestra

Bravo ! Great music. Thanks for sharing it with us. A huge inspiration.

Incredible! Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT work! I really loved the whole thing (especially the cadenza!). Anyways, thats all for now. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

To add to this comment would be redundant, as it encapsulates exactly what I wish to say. Outstanding work, exceptional piece of music.

you know what i hate about this composition...the fact that it has made me really sick in the stomach. That is by no means to say that it is dreadful, because I would be lying if i were to say such a thing. I am still in shock. Give me a moment.

This piece has by far got to be one of the greatest compositions I have ever heard on this forum...in fact, the most greatest composition that has been recently composed (like within the last 3 years of all composers in the world) that I have heard. I am seriously sick in the stomach though, because this piece has such maestoso and such bravura...i dont even know what that means. Im also sick in the stomach, because now i feel like a failure myself as a composer...well that is a bit extreme because Im not, but I feel as if now I have been whacked on the head with a large bat; your fantasy being the bat. The after-math of this whack is a statement: "Welcome to the industry that you Nicholas Goodridge want to be a part of (composition). It is hard, it is competitive and you are going to have to pull your head in to make it."

Your piece has created a fresh wave of fear over me. I now know what I have to achieve as a composer. Thank you for posting, you have made a piece that is described beyond words I can use, but I don't like the affect that it has had on me. Or, either I do, and I am just in incredible shock.


I would consider the cadenza to be more like a cadenza of rachmaninoff's third btw.

I look foward to more of your work, but I will be better prepared next time.

yes. i am aware that this is a ramble...and hardly makes sense. What i am trying to say completely is: This piece rocks!

I am deeply impressed with the level of density. The fluidity of melody/harmony. Your structure is impeccible.

Your ideas are incredibly agile and most intelligent.
You understand composition without compromise even though you state that you are still searching for your voice.

It's been a real pleasure sir...

Gorgeous work! The word effortless immediately comes to mind. The melody, harmony, and structure just grow organically and flow so well... very impressive. Congratulations.

Brilliant Composition. Impeccable development, if that is the right word between 3:35 to 4:15.

thanks for the piece

This is a seriously respectable piece. I'm not sure where to place it inside my mind in terms of music history...Not contemporary, too familiar sounding for that. But...not exactly the kind of level of musical comprehension expected from a 24-year-old. If you can write this now (meaning that you already have the stamina for large-scale works)...i can't see why you shouldn't soon find your own voice and perhaps write something very original. The amount of talent that this requires...is way above average.

You said somewhere that the contemporary music doesn't express you very well. So i thought perhaps i should tell you this wisdom (from a very wise girl): key to success is not making new things...but old things in a new way. That simple sentence explained everything to me...also why the contemporary music is frowned upon .

When i begin to study orchestral music i will definitely return to see your style of orchestration as i will probably learn quite a bit from it.


Good luck!!!

Piko?

Where are you? We are all waiting your return! At least in this thread!
