    Please consider reviewing as well as posting. Not only does it help balance the number of works on the site, but it helps you get involved! You may think you have nothing to add, but something as simple as "this was cool because of this part" or "something about 0:35 threw me off a bit" does help. Thanks!

      Wow! Thanks, @SergeOfArniVillage ! I am glad you have taken the time to both review this and give 'nit-picky' feedback. This is what will help me improve, so thanks for your advice. I am also looking to improve the final theme and coda so your suggestion will help with this.

      Gus Finds A Way - KEN THORNE by Moozeeck

      By Moozeeck · Posted

      Hi everyone. I have recorded Gus Finds A Way - KEN THORNE and I uploaded it to the YouTube.
      It's a short theme from movie Superman 3 (1983) in a scene where Gus Gorman gets great idea how to insert two keys at the same time to unlock the computer.
      Author is Ken Thorne, British television and film score composer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv7byuuTlg0

      Fantasia

      By SergeOfArniVillage · Posted

      I like the piece too. The Tempest inspiration is obvious, but the piece has enough originality so that it becomes an homage, not plagiarism 😌 The only bars in the whole piece I didn’t like were mss. 33-40. To me, it sounded unintentionally comical, even clown-like. If I were you, I’d axe it. Lovely, lovely piece, enjoyed your various developments. Even mss. 71 on sounded like an elaboration of the climactic end of the 3rd movement Tempest. Very cool. Technical suggestions: please trim 5-note chords where the pianist is expected to keep the melody. The chord at ms. 84 — it’s not exactly impossible, I suppose, but it’s unnecessarily uncomfortable. Removing that bottom E in the R.H after 3rd or 4th beat, or at least making clear the left hand thumb can take over (which would fix it), would be much easier on a pianist. Also, mss. like 193 and 196 are awkward: I’d suggest removing the Eb in the accompaniment so the melodic part can have its clear Eb’s without juggling with the L.H. and on 196, remove the Eb in the left hand on beat 3 or 4, and voila, much easier, no music sacrificed. I really enjoyed listening to this, thanks for sharing 😌
