Hi, everyone. I was wondering if anyone would mind listening to this movement from a piano trio I'm currently writing. I'd appreciate any feedback, but in particular I'd like to know whether you feel that I've gone too far with the repeatedly evaded cadence at the end of each scherzo section. Thanks!

Hello @set and welcome to YC! Mind proving us a score, please. Kvothe.

Hi Set. Welcome to the forums! ... Idk either ;$ Do you happen to have a PDF of this? Regards, Daniel–Ø.

@interlect In the media world, there is certain thing called an NDA. I would be careful about leaking videos. If anyone finds out you leaked this, you could be in serious trouble. Please think about this....

You are welcome. I am glad to help out. We are here to learn from each other. One day, we enter an official contest, and those contests be scored and reviewed similarly to the ones here. It is good practice to partake one we do here. You learn how entries are scored (0-10) and why. This round I focused on scoring and judging. The next round: I might do both.

Which post do you want to delete? Henry

There only seems to be the option to edit it and not actually remove it

Hello, Little fugue i wrote today in the north german baroque style. First musical output in years. Simple in harmony, joyful and melodic in theme and counterpoint. Scored for four voices, work well enough with organ or strings. Fuga in g.mp3 Fuga in G.pdf

Hey there. Here is my score of your entry. Entry: Padovana et Gagliarda Form: Here, I feel, the composition has created a strophic chorale structure. Each section of the piece of the composition is well peace and clearly marked. Even without a proper formal development, this baroque chorale (in 4 parts) stands on its own feet's. Score Presentation: L.S Barros' score did not show any engraving errors. It was presented in professional manner. The parts were labeled. Playability: This chorale is certainly playable for any level. The only technical issue that may happen school concerts. Young musicians are not familar with 3/2 meter. But that is not even something to worry about. Creativity: I appreciate the fresh take on chorale Harmony: The homophonic texture was well executed throughout this entry. I appreciate the modal mixture and other forms chromaticism that you used throughout and how you resolved them! Execution: this entry met the correct theming of challenge and was within given time limit. Taste: It was refreshing to hear brass chorale with this competition. Chorales are usually associated with voices. Here, we get to hear one with a brass quartet. Quartets provide a more emotional musical experience to the audience, imo. I felt I was actually listening to 4 brass players and not brass section. Thus, I enjoyed this a lot. Themes: Each section has a different unique theme that repeats. (noted: this is the nature of chorale) Average Score: 9.8 Melodies Themes Motives Harmony Chords Textures Form Development Structure Time Originality Creativity Score Presentation Instrumentation Orchestration Playability Execution of Given Challenge Taste 10 10 10 9.5 10 9.5 10 10

You will be fine. :) This is a stress free environment.

Thanks!

Definitely a few noteworthy moments you could build a piece from... sounds nice!

Still there are around three weeks’ time to submit entries. Maybe you can make a fifth entry! Henry

Thanks for the tip on the harp!

I noticed there are only four entries...

Time for the actually score of you entry! Entry: Morning on Windby Island Review: My above comments remain! I took those in affect when I scored this! However, I will add something about the harp. The rolled chord in the left hand are too small for the harp. Usually rolled chords are played by both hands. Nothing major. That is why is only .5 off in the score and playability sections. other than...Kudos Total: 9.75 Melodies Themes Motives Harmony Chords Textures Form Development Structure Time Originality Creativity Score Presentation Instrumentation Orchestration Playability Execution of Given Challenge Taste 10 10 9 10 9.5 9.5 10 10

@Fruit hunter ! Below you find my review of your entry. Entry: Scarface to the wilderness Review: The percussion set up of the score of the score is too hard follow. Usually, you would have would have one or two players with a different set of instruments per player. It kept changing between staff types. Thus, that is in that category a four was given. Along with that, no list of names of instruments was given at the start. This made it made confusion to know what instruments was were being used. Please! tell us this next time. As for the playability...it would be hard pass on levels. I was lost when I listen to this piece. I asked myself: where is this piece going? structure? form? I could not make one out. Alas, i need a clear road. That is category is scored low. The textures throughout the piece were interesting, but too repetitive and lack a sense of direction. The only melodic material was in the pitch percussion(?). But it did not seem to flow naturally from the piece, sadly. I must this you did try to be creative, but too hard. relax and have fun. For taste, it different and unique on it is on merits. Total Score: 5.5 Melodies Themes Motives Harmony Chords Textures Form Development Structure Time Originality Creativity Score Presentation Instrumentation Orchestration Playability Execution of Given Challenge Taste 3.5 6 4 8 4 5.5 5.5 7.5

UPDATE: New score and description for this project!

Any feedback is welcome! May 1.mp3

@Omicronrg9 Ah I see I might try using that method then. I think the recording sounds bad because it was recorded on a phone and the piano is not in great shape.

Who knows; I might write a sort of piano prelude based on that chord and its transpositions and variations, but I'll finish my piano sonata first. Only reason it's not done now is that there is this brutal sort of flu running around in our small town...and it's been kicking my buttocks!🤒

Hey guys, I composed a LOTR-inspired piece featuring powerful female vocals and a symphony orchestra. It is based on Tolkien’s well-known poem “One Ring.” If you have any thoughts about it, feel free to share them with me!
