Eclipse




Hello again,
This is my first serious piece subbmitted, but is still again a work in progress.
It is a modern classical piece written for solo piano.

Hope you all enjoy!



The piece shows minimalistic influences - it's built over a single harmonic progression, almost as a kind of 'theme and variations' but without a real development. You achieve most of your variations through the groove of the chords; but I believe you can expand and develop this much better.

Not bad at all - just needs more work. :D
The intro had a good start but it was executed a bit awkwardly. I like the shift at 0:40 but it felt like it occurred too suddenly, have some slow progression before that shift. The part at 1:24 was marvelous, I quite liked it, it was my favorite part of the piece. I agree with Austenite that this piece could be expanded and developed, there is nothing wrong with the rest of the song, it is just not as broad as it could've been.
Yeah, I'm gonna write a new section, that was the 'draft' if you like

I really appriciate all your comments!

Well, I couldn't put it better than Austenite, "minimalistic influences". The chord progressions are fairly simplistic, and as is are your rhythms. I feel like harmonic progressions can be enhanced by extremely well-written rhythmic progression. The RH seems to consistently repeat the basic broken chord cascade, and the LH plays octaves a lot. Neither of these are necessarily detrimental to a piece, as simplicity can sometimes constitute the most effective movement. But in its simplicity I would like to see a greater deal of variation and cultivation of your theme. It's got the potential, and you do too, just utilize it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks,

I'll probably post this again when improved!
Alright I'll be excited to see it.

Btw, in the related videos, the one entitled "Amazon - Dan's First Composition".....is that yours as well?
Yes that is mine, but has been developed lots more since...
I might put a recording of it on here in due course.
