Thank you for your kindness, @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu. I'm so happy to receive a comment on this work from you. Personally, I only write reviews for works that fascinate me, so I will continue working to create something that might one day elicit that kind of reaction from others. By the way, I recently listened to some of your past work, and it was wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing you upload new works. P.S. Thank you for telling me about Schnittke's Symphony no.4. I hadn't heard it before, so I really appreciate the recommendation. You seem to have amazing musical knowledge too! Best, Lithl.

🖐️ Never made the grade :

Hi Jean @Krisp ! I have left a few words in Youtube, and I will reiterate here that I love your orchestration! To me it's more like an orchestra playing in a chamber setting which gives different contrasting mood in different passages. The use of harp definitely makes this one a lovely romantic lied. The subject of this lied really reminds of the film "Last Year at Marienbad" when the male protagonist insisted in recognizing the female protagonist, who always refuted it. All the harmonic progression in the piece well serves the narrative structure and mood change of the poem, and to me the most magical touch is the end-the narrator admits he never truly knew her and the chords ends on a suspended B minor chord, while the fantasy continues in the harp and other instruments. This heavily reminds me of the ending of Dichterliebe when the narrator and singer abruptly ended his singing by "sinking to the Rhine" and the music continues with the piano. Truly magical touch here. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hi @Vasilis Michael ! This one is wonderful! Recently I finally get more in touch with Scarlatti and your piece shows heavy influence of his Sonatas: echoing of passages, abrupt and wonderful modulations, all the m.d. and m.g., dexterity and touch required to play, abrupt changes of style or mood. Yours is no less wonderful than Scarlatti's Sonatas I can definitely say. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hey Pabio @Fugax Contrapunctus ! I am always in awe with your contrapuntal power and this one is no exception. The perpetual modulations through the circle of fifth matches so well with the latin text of "Change is inevitable in all things. Everything flows in the balance of those who are tempestive.", as Yijin [The Book of Change] says, "The only thing unchanged is Change itself". For me just one personal thought: maybe since this starts with E major, would it be the best to end with its tritone major, the Bb major, instead of Gb major, so the changing theme of the piece would be even better reflected? Thx for sharing this wonderful piece! Henry

Hey Kyle @UncleRed99 ! What a lovely piece which is clearly in your style: sentimental, refreshing and lovely. I like the tone color of the whole piece, and all the solo passages of the winds. Just some suggestion of mine: first the pianist isn't given a chance to play the melody at all except b.41-44. Since I've just reviewed @MK_Piano 's October piece it immediately reminds me of his piece where there is piano solo passages. I think here you can extend your piano solo passage as well and also have the winds accompanying the piano melody. Also whenever two winds are in pair, the upper instrument (in terms of score position, not range of the instrument) always have the melody. What if clarinet and oboe playing together and clarinet gets the melody? Or bassoon getting the melody over a flute countermelody? You can think of more varieties in the instrumentation as well! Also for the recurring figure in b.13: Seeing this figure immediately reminds myself of my own Clarinet Quintet 1st mov to advertise myself lol: Thx for your sharing, and my deepest condolences to you and your family for losing a family member, as Anna accompanies you for such long years as a lovely pet and family member. Henry

Hi @Lithl ! It's sad that you keep reviewing other members' posts while no one reviewing yours, so I will review this one first! I enjoy the ominous mood by playing only on the high register and the very precise rhythmic marking which creates the more random (in a positive way) effect to enhance the ghostly mood. My fav. is the no.7 one especially when there are repeating chords which is really exciting to me. I imagine the piece to be placed alongside celesta and harpsichord Schnittke's Symphony no.4: To me it will make the piece even more ominous! Thx for sharing! Henry

Hey Mason, I think the duration and the difficulty of the piece matches the wedding occasion: short enough, sincere enough and not overtly showy and virtuosic. It's great you have the piano playing the solo in b.30, as mostly it's doing the poor accompanying job haha. I imagine that if this piece is played in real life, you will be saying some congratulatory words and blessings to your sister in the fermata in b.29, playing the solo yourself, maybe improvising a bit, before getting back to tutti. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hey Peter, To me this sounds very like Prokofiev! The fiercely theme reminds me very much of the finale of his 7th Sonata, though in a less crazy way and in a more regular time signature. The recurring contrasting "subdue" passage really provides a very good contrast to the Fiercely passage, and even if this one is an early work of yours, the subdue passage really reminds me your late microtonal pieces despite not being microtonal here, with its mesmerizing mood and constant modulations. I like the "Serenely" passage too, though I think if played in real like it should be played with heavy rubato in the manner of a Chopin Mazurka, which would add more craziness to the score. The passage modulating and fleeting between B major/minor and Bb major reminds me very much how Beethoven did similar things in his Hammerklavier which I recently just finished practicing. Thx for sharing this enjoyable piece! Henry

Hello, TristanTheTristan. This is a wonderful piece! The atmosphere of the track shifts smoothly, drawing the listener in. The composition keeps things engaging from start to finish, and the use of fast passages (rapid note sequences) is truly impressive. Personally, I like the section starting at 2:44; it has a unique yet lovely vibe. The piano part is also fantastic. Given the high quality of the work, I think it would be even better if you cleaned up the rough spots, like the audio distortion (clipping) occurring at 4:01 and 7:44. Then again, if this is just a sketch intended for a live performance, perhaps strict correction isn't necessary. You have amazing talent for composition. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece! P.S. I agree with @gooberro. @MK_Piano, thank you for always providing such great reviews! That said, this piece is really great!!

I'd like to join thx!

Thanks! I want to be able to give feedback like you one day!

I declare my intention as thus: I like idea of centering a piece around poem. Therefore, I will probably write a composition this round. I also want to review (excluding mine), too.

thx！dw i am not at home either. I will be back tomorrow. Please do check out all of it if possible! I will change the music asap as well, to make it more human and stuff.

For all my music needs, I use forScore. (I compose using MuseScore however.) I use forScore to read and perform my repertoire and to annotate PDFs. It cost around $25 USD as a one time purchase. You can annotate combine PDFs, rearrange documents, etc. The first one I used starting in college was called PiaScore and is free to use. It’s similar in features to forScore, however, in my opinion, has a lackluster user interface. I would recommend both in a heartbeat regardless!

What software do you use? Or just photo editor

Hello all, I made an alarm clock sound for my friend. Any criticisms or reviews? All remarks are welcome :) Here's the score: https://musescore.com/user/120227759/scores/35918849?share=copy_link Nuisance.mp3

I do not mind looking at the other movements; however, I need a day or two break lol. I’m currently on a vacation visiting my parents and there’s a lot of plans this weekend. If I do, it’ll be starting next week.

i really want to do this but im not sure if i'll have time.. we will see!!

Forsooth, I declareth my steadfast intent to partake in thy competition.

I tried to change a lot in the piece. I rewrote the accompaniment almost entirely. Then I tried to suppress the folk-like sound of the repeating melody and turn it into something more melancholic. I am uncertain if this notation is suitable for piano performance, as I do not play the piano myself; otherwise, it would need to be adapted. The revised Fantasia_wav.mp3revised Fantasia.pdf

Bro Seriously thank you so so so much! Idk how to tell you how happy I am! Also, will you analyse other movements too? It's fine if you don't, I am already the happiest person in the world! Thx! -TristanTheTristan
