Hysteric

- - - - -




The basic progression of the composition was made firstly on keyboard only. MIDI rendered in Finale.

The name is opened to be changed by who ever feels so.

After deciding a new name I will upload the piano base tune of this experiment.



An interesting piece, with a lot of anxiety and movement despite being based on very short and austere ideas. I just don't see this as too 'hysterical' to deserve its title.
I don't really understand the title either. To me this was a very pleasant piece but with a lot of excitement or suspension. Nevertheless I really enjoyed it, especially how it constantly builds up. Is there a background to it? It just feels like one of those pieces that seems to try telling me a story.
And I don't get the title either. It's too pleasent... just too nice sounding. Also, I hate to say it but the piece isn't really all that interesting - I ii iii IV V vi I ii etc. I can't think of what could improve it. It's fine, but it could have more interest, such as accents, different staccato-tenuto markings, dynamics, etc.

It's so far good, but I think try to make it better, or maybe longer with more ideas.

Keep it up!

With you comment I really get the point that this two contrary aspects: "anxiety and movement" makes it interesting for the fact that its a contradictory feeling.

The basic chord progression needs a rework, together with the final work. Thousand thanks for your thoughts, Austenite!

Sorry for the title but at that time I remember I got really hysteric in public, for the first time in my life (and I hope the last time) (most of the time I am calm), I was very tired and some of my neighbors saw me in that emotional state. I also saw myself for the first time acting that way. The piece must have some influence from that event. When I listen to it I have a funny feeling about the event. How could it be that way? A better title would be: "Hysterical and funny", the way hysteria can be funny if it doesn't become dangerous.

Thanks a lot for the remarks. That I ii iii IV V vi need new development, going somehow in VII, I tried while discovering the basic chord progression (I discovered it mathematically: use octave in the base - left hand with C, doubled; for the soprano: again C but with fifth, in counterpoint of all previous note you use the third for C and you have now the first step; identically you go I ii iii IV V vi). More ideas and dynamics sounds it seems to make it perfect, and more intruments (maybe).

Cheers!
