  1. Past hour
  2. I'll edit this with music related comments later (I've heard this ๐Ÿ˜„), but I just had to say reading your post made me happy. I remember not too long ago how sad and stressed you were, and with starting a new job, I hope you carry this fresher and more positive outlook on life with you. I know you wrote this during a happier time, and it shows. Love the pictures, love the music!
  3. Thank you! No, not a guitarist; could play Folk guitar with first position chords by a campfire, that's about it! Play electric bass a bit better.
  4. What's funny is you keep writing short microtonal pieces to give yourself a break from a large project, but the amount of pieces as a collection is kind of a large project too ๐Ÿ˜„ This is cool, I think I've mentioned how much better your microtonal stuff sounds with strings versus harpsichord. This had such a "melting beauty" type of sound to me. The chromatics helped, but the 3 note pitch cell's descent or ascension maybe made me feel that way. Clever writing, I like ๐Ÿ™‚ I also really like the mix, you've gotten really good at that! Nice job, Peter
  5. Today
  6. Oh hey there Are you a fellow guitarist? The music is pretty cool, I liked the third movement the most. Welcome!
  7. Hi @HoYin Cheung and thanks for your review! Thanks! I used Musescore Studio 4 and Musesounds for all the solo strings in this piece. As can be seen in the score, I fussed around a lot with the dynamics in order to bring the different contrapuntal lines in and out of the foreground throughout the piece. Thanks for listening and commenting!
  8. Not a catchy or upbeat piece, but I consider it one of my best. Ten days, in March.
  9. Don't know how difficult this is, not being a pianist myself, but probably easier than Liszt!
  10. Two weeks ago in five hours, but the main A theme was already done, an arrangement of a song by my brother Tyler. All of the piano part is mine; he wrote the main melody, and the little "hook." I wrote the F# minor B theme and D Major C theme, and the coda. A Rock & Roll waltz!

  12. A few weeks ago I already posted this on related forums, and received some very detailed responses which pointed me to rework the dynamics, chords, tempo and key signatures. Now I feel like I'm much closer to having a polished and release ready version (it's just a hobby project for me though). I'm sure there's still a lot of stuff in there that looks / sounds amateurish, which may or may not have to remain depending on the effort I'd have to invest to fix it. But to get a general impression on how much this transcription / arrangement is still lacking, I'd like to have some final feedback, in case I'm allowed to ask for that over here (specifically looking for a community specialised in composing now). The score can be found here: https://musescore.com/user/103380388/scores/25823476 It's supposed to be an arrangement to the following track: Paint the Pictures I know I've taken a few liberties and it's not a 1:1 transcription, but I feel the changes were necessary to make everything work out more smoothly on piano. What I'm mostly worried still, would be: - key signatures: I received feedback before, that the original doesn't use F#'s everywhere, and so I decided to not use a 'default' key signature at all except for the bridge. I just added the sharps to each F individually where I deemed them necessary. I'm not sure if this is fine, though? Like, is it a good style to change key signature 'just' for the bridge? - playability: I removed / moved some notes to avoid ninth intervals, which would be unplayable by the vast majority of pianists. Now I still have parts that require you to 'jump' much of the bass clef up and down in quick succession to hit octaves though... Are these fine and should I keep them, or are they unnecessarily difficult and I should just keep the root notes? - dissonances: I feel like the last few bars of the bridge sound dissonant and annoying after a few listens. However, the original is kind of the same... Now, I increased harmony near the bridges end by using more complex chords / triads, which bother me because they seem to bring in the dissonances. Is this just a midi playback issue, and these triads in the upper treble clef area should be 'more simple' as they are at the beginning of the bridge (where treble clef chords consist of 1-2 notes max), or are they fine and I should keep them? - chorus: There are two chorus segments, and in the first one I intentionally omitted the octaves to reserve a more powerful effect for the second one. Now, does the first chorus sound too 'weak' to you, or would you keep it as is? - of course any additional critic / feedback is fine as well with me Thanks!
  13. Scared me; Noteflight has its glitches, but I'm not even sure where I put the manuscript, and would hate to have to re-enter it anyway...
  14. Toccata Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Piano/Keyboard | Noteflight Had to copy/paste Toccata into a new score: Just changed a Bb to an A# and the original stopped playing!
  15. Wow, I guessed I have listened 3 times in a row to start to understand the piece๐Ÿ˜† I enjoy the piece! I love the development at m. 13-17, where the Violin I giving a slight breath to rest, with the ascending melody, from the ever-descending motive. FIguratively, it would be like a nightmare where you try to do sth but never succeeding each time - pick something up and something missing๐Ÿ˜… Btw, what notation software are you using? I kinda like the shifting sound and quality of the solo strings in the recording.

  18. Hello all, I would like to share the second movement of my Symphony No.1. I belive this is a movement with more contrast than the first movement, and I wish you will enjoy it. In case you haven't listened to the first movement, here is the link: Symphony No.1 - First Movement - Orchestral and Large Ensemble Thank you for listening! HoYin
  19. Like your piece though; sounds like Holst in a calm mood!
  20. No, now that I listened, but then again, as much as I like Mahler, the Eighth is almost too big for Mahler.
