    • Thanks for your feedback. I think i'll rewrite it or reuse those ideas in something better thought (mainly because of the awkward unplayable parts).
    • I forgot to say but there's a PDF link to the score (with standard colors) in the description.
    • Hey again @MJFOBOE, I like the simplicity of this one.  It is a breath of fresh air.  It is deceptively simple because the harmony is constantly contradicting itself between modal mixtures which are very affecting and romantic sounding to me.  More please!  Thanks for sharing.
    • Hi @Cafebabe! I think the piece seems to be in 6/8 rather than 3/4 since the strong beats in each measure are the 1st and 4th eighth notes - there's clearly 2 main beats in the measure rather than 3.  There are some measures that are in 3/4 but imo they happen in the predominant context of 6/8 as a kind of hemiola.  The introductory motif in the right hand will be very difficult to play at the speed you have here since there are many consecutive same notes to play in a row which is very unidiomatic writing for the piano.  It works in a midi rendition but your performer will either be unable to play it that fast and will have to slow it down or will just kill their wrist trying to play it up to speed.  Also - you present a LOT of ideas in a short time, which is why I guess you called this a "Fantasia".  You could stretch this material out into a longer piece and flesh out the material more and give your ideas time to speak.  The main thing I wish you had more of is unity between your ideas - they should all be related somehow but you overload the listener with lots of variety.  The balance between unity and variety is a difficult one that composers have to contend with.  I also prefer this score view to the other piece you recently posted which had inverted colors.  This is much easier to see and read.  Thanks for sharing!
    • Hey again @Some Guy That writes Music, I really like this piece!  I am listening for the first two times casually without the score and it is very touching and true to the emotion you prescribed yourself to emulate!  This emotion wheel is a very curious and useful approach towards composition, especially if one wants to write incidental music or music for media.  Did you choose to first emulate the "Pleased" emotion followed by "Satisfied"? Technically speaking you've once again managed to write the entirety of your piece in the sole key of A major without any transition or modulation.  Just one sole section of exposition without any development.  That's fine and it surely suits your purpose well since you managed to write a very content-sounding piece!  But from a purely technical viewpoint there is a lack of theme and many of the figurations could be considered to be just "noodling" in the key of A major.  In a happy-go-lucky way you wander up and down the A major scale in certain learned way and achieve a very happy sounding feel. As for future challenges - I'd be stoked to hear you write a piece representing "Sadness" - both "Depressed" and "Sorrow" seem good candidates. Overall a very enjoyable piece!  Thanks for sharing.
