haha thx! The ending four note is a quote of the tonics of each the 4 piano pieces of the set! Henry

Fun little piece. I especially loved the middle section with the change of tempo and key. The ending? Really sounds like a joke!

The final piece of my four Piano pieces set and just a lame joke. Can be developed into a postmodern minimalistic masterpiece by repeating the joke forever and forever...... Joke in A flat major.pdf Hope you enjoy this one! Henry

LOL I need rest too like these few weeks. I am having Tinnitus all the time and when I was teaching piano and heard high notes played by myself my ears ached for a second. I think I am still recovering from finishing the Sextet as I am continuously sick for at least 1.5 months or so Henry

For me, I like taking breaks where I don't review for a while because I feel the same way most of the time (only @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu is a reviewing super-musician who reviewed 10's of works at a time without a rest! LoL!!) But after a while I do eventually find the energy as I feel like it accrues after long periods of not reviewing. Besides, you can review as deeply or as casually as you feel like at any given time so it's not always an incredible amount of effort necessary. Thanks for your response! I added that option to the poll (although I do have to say that comparing yourself to others this way is not very conducive to improving because regardless of how good you are, there's always likely to be a historical composer, or specific piece which you can consider "leagues ahead of" you and feel discouraged by. Nobody can be leagues ahead of you being you though. And your strengths and weaknesses are unique to you and that's what makes you a unique, individual human being and composer. Did you know that Beethoven considered himself bad at counterpoint in comparison to Bach and Mozart?

Haha you don't have to always provide critiques, sometimes you may just name out spots you like or dislike would be great to the composer! Unless you provide "reviews" like "X-C-Lent" without using any thinking, leaving comments will always be great! Henry

I'm late to this topic but i wanted to chime in anyway because the reason i'm late is the same reason i don't review more works. For me it's lack of energy, i feel like that part of my brain that would analyze and give feedback, or even engage with topics like this, is just too tired and i end up not doing it. I selected a few of the options but that's the main thing. Oh also, an equally big reason is that many (most) of the composers on here are leagues ahead of me so how am i gonna tell them how to improve, y'know?

If there was a way to share your Copyrighted© ...........Midi-File of your Original-Composition© it would then be interesting to hear how it would sound via , This Classified-Alpha/Beta program im currently using for production Trax. As at present its "never been tested primarily for Piano-Solos" even though, free-midi-files are available on line. so it might Be quite a surprise to hear your compostion interpretated on an, Imperial Bösendorfer 97-key grand piano

@bkho Ohh haha thank you, i've got a lot to learn before i'm near someone like mozart, but i appreciate the compliment nonetheless. Totally with you about the dynamics, they went through like four different iterations before i decided to cop out and leave them "up to interperetation". Maybe i'll try again

Really nice! I would just suggest more dynamic markings but otherwise if someone told me this was a lost piece by Mozart found in some dusty music library in Vienna, I'd believe them.

I totally hear you, i think it's the midi piano creating most of those problems. But a performer could take it a few bpm slower, i wouldn't mind

Thankyou Luis I didnt realize that there was a NAME for playing that fast...........so it can be done in Real-Time.

N.I.C.E. ..................And each one no longer than 2mins.

Yes its Good.....................What TEMPO-BPM.......... is that ?

Yes. For my taste it is a bit fast. But it's a personal thing. I think the phrasing is lost a bit and the repeated notes, for example, sound totally percussive.

It's actually quite funny how this person couldn't be bothered to read between the lines and as such your comments' whole point flew right over their head. Really amusing how they have essentially exposed themselves by trying to expose me, like calling them out in private for these immature tactics they're displaying at any point warranted any kind of convincing response. Moreover, playing the victim card by accusing me of "toxic masculinity" or whatever for defending myself and pointing out what they're doing is pretty low, specially coming from someone repeatedly showing this kind of behaviour. Anyway, not much else to be said about this person, by their actions it should be fairly evident by now that they are clearly ill-intentioned and ostensibly incapable of taking criticism or self-reflection. Thank you for your help nontheless, Henry, as I would have otherwise lost my temper and wasted my time and energy all by my own on someone who plainly does not deserve either of those.

I have actually seen that post you have made and I actually thought it was really interesting since it came out from you.

Thankyou ....................................That "Inbox message"..................... was A clear Case of Toxic-Masculinity

There's indeed no need, Pabio was trying to save your face but you just openly disclosed the inbox message yourself by posting. That's really X-C-LENT!

Thankyou for your Inbox-Message............................................But theres no need to worry.

I did play around with your suggestion, changing the triplets to the 16th notes, and yeah, it is so much more smoother now. However, I wanted variation on the second repetition, so I substituted the rhythmical change for harmonic and dynamic. I changed a bit of the notes from the ostinato, and the passage now crescendos a bit to forte then diminuendos to the unchanged pianissimo, just to add contrast. I've also properly modified the repetition at the end of the piece to match the change. Thanks for the suggestion and feedback! Glad you like the piece!

Here is a real performance of the revised version

@Luis Hernández Thanks! Yeah the virtual piano is terrible lol. The speed though, do you mean you think it's a little fast?

Condensing a score in Muse score is definitely not one key stroke, but is not as tedious as you may thought it’s a few more extra steps. I think you just have to go into the format of the score and click on condensed score or something. I’ve done that many times .even the sound mapping is more difficult than condensing a score.
