yeah. or left, if you know how.

I could try 😄 I'm assuming you mean in the right hand?

Nice waltz! I can definitely see some inspiration taken from the chopin waltz. Maybe make it more complex? Add scales, arpeggios, whatever. Anyways, it is good, and has potential.

this on the other hand I do somewhat appreciate , I still don't think you should be calling anybody's work cringe, even if it absolotly is, but I do appreciate you pointing out the fact I'm not really learning anything new in those videos, because I do strive to learn and improve. my next video is planned to be an original composition, with that reason being one of the reasons I chose to switch the style up a bit. with that being said again it's a youtube video sometimes people just do nonsense on youtube videos that's also fine as long as they're having fun which I was.

I don't think it's that much of a crime to call a piano song "a piece" I do bealive it is the most beautiful piece ever written, so I don't feel regrets calling it that but even if I didn't it's youtube, people sometimes use catchy titles, no need to go insane about it I undrastand that you're trying to help, but that's not how I'd define support. same with reason three, yes, I make jokes, yes, I don't explain every little thing like a harvard composition teacher, again it's a youtube video

still a work in progress

waltzu waltz.pdfthis is inspired by chopin's chopin waltz in a flat major b 21 waltzu waltz.mp3

Also, maybe study wanderer's fantasy for piano and orcherstra alongside the original. It will definitely give you an idea.

I agree with Peter. But, mostly... IT IS A PIECE NOT A SONG! PLEASE! That is a reason why it is cringe. Reason 2: It is not the most beautiful. It might seem 'catchy', and that is why it is cringe. Reason 3: You have to make a joke out of musical techniques that take a long time to master. Explain them professionally. Here is my recommendation: Create two videos for any of your orchestrations using a voiceover. Record it first, and then make a 'cringe' video and a 'professional' one. It gets you more views, and I would be happy too because then there is something to learn. Just a friendly reminder, We are not insulting you, we are trying to help you.

This is easy. 10 out of 10. Simply outstanding. And a perfect five minutes? Great. 10 out of 10. Winner here. (This is just a joke lol)

I stood it. It's not bad at all, but a bit directionless to my taste. I suppose that it happens a lot more than I realise with incidental music? I don't know. There were bits that I liked more, others not so much. Again, if I had to point something out, it would be the lack of dynamics throghout the whole piece. A new dimension of nuances awaits there. Hope noteflight would improve the playback system, but it's not that bad anyway if you've enjoyed OSTs from 90s-00s videogames. In fact it kind of rings a bell in that regard. Despite of the seemingly random pauses, the music itself has some continuity. I liked specially the M84-M92. But a question arises: why keeping the key of this piece if it diverts that far away from it? I myself do that as well, but I'm just curious about your thoughts. Finally, I did like the add9 in that Eb at the end. It's a bit contrasting, sounds like the bad trip is over. Regards!

I think that this is great! I really like rondo form. That is an advantage for you. Seems like a scherzo, but not scary or sinister.

Español/Spanish ¡Hola! ¡Bienvenidos a los Foros de Jóvenes Compositores! En fin, siempre me gusta empezar por lo positivo. Has usado distintos niveles de dinámica y disonancia (estoy empezando a ver un patrón). Encuentro una secuencia clara que se repite a lo largo de la música. ¡Muy bien!

Very original piece of music.

I gave a high level of originality because it has very original thoughts, like a beautiful mess. YOU EVEN WROTE A SHORT PARAGRAPH ABOUT THE MUSIC?! Definitely 10 out of 10. Beautiful melodies. ABA is Boring...

@PeterthePapercomPoser Kind of hurts, but I see where you're coming from

Hi again @Tunndy! I've watched all your "orchasrations" so far and I have to ask: are you learning anything from this process? It seems like all you're doing is importing midi's of the piano pieces into an orchestra template and copying and pasting the different parts into various instruments, essentially just doubling the parts, mostly in the same register as the original. But there's so much more to orchestration. In your orchestrations, you always include the piano part in the final finished orchestration, but I think a real test of whether you can effectively turn piano pieces into orchestra pieces would be if you excluded the piano from the orchestration. Let's see if the orchestration can stand on its own, without the piano! There were plenty of opportunities in this piece to use the string orchestra really dynamically, to create something that is quite different from the original piano piece. Like when Debussy stacks the F and Ab dyads in various registers, each an octave higher than the previous: I think you could have used the string orchestra really dynamically here by using the Violas, 2nd Violins, and 1st Violins to sustain those dyads and create a rich chord. That's just one example. But I don't think you're learning any of these techniques with the way you're orchestrating these pieces. And, honestly, I find your "orchastration" videos kinda cringe. 😕 Thanks for sharing though and if you do learn something from doing this then by all means, keep going!

English/Inglés Hi there! Welcome to the Forums of Young Composers! Anyways, I always like to start with the positives. You have used various amounts of dynamics, and dissonance (I am starting to see a pattern here). I find a clear sequence that is repeated throughout the music. Very good!

Nice Quintet! I find a lot of dissonance used, nice! Sadly, it is slightly boring to me. Otherwise, it is good!
