  2. Hi Lithl, welcome to the forums! As an experiment, I'm sure it's been entertaining and enriching for you. For me, the result is just a noise crescendo, I don't find it interesting at all. The processes that lead to it may be, though. I don't think that what you did proves or disproves that you lack talent. From this alone it's impossible to tell. Talent for what exactly, though? What are you pursuing? Are the other contestants' works similar to yours? How important is it to you to provide value to the listener? Best regards, Daniel–Ø.

  5. Really? That sounds like a very harsh critique. To be truthful, I think your work is good; it simply reflects your good style. Your melodies have a certain melancholic quality, yet they still feel energetic and full of hope—Specifically, in version 80, the first 27 seconds have a bit of a lonely, melancholic atmosphere. But starting with the note at 0:28, it feels as if the music begins to take a step forward with a sense of hope. It’s hard to put into words, but that’s the impression I get. Whether that was intentional or not, your music is capable of telling a story, and I think that’s great. I’m also interested to hear how others feel about it, not just me.
  6. It's a German forum. They said things like:"There is no melody." "That's just tinkling." "I can't sing to this melody."
  7. Could you tell me, for example, what kind of criticisms you received? Personally, I think it’s good overall!! If I had to point something out, I’d say the melodic phrasing feels a bit similar throughout, which makes the development feel a little thin. Among the new melodies, I really like measure 90. Personally, I thought it might be interesting to try swapping the left-hand accompaniment of 90 with something like what's in measure 96! By the way, if you don't mind, could you tell me the name of that forum? I’d love to take a look myself.

  10. Thank you for your reply! I truly appreciate your very candid critique! Thank you. Personally, I intended for this piece to be weird, but as you pointed out, if that strangeness comes across as simply "dislike" rather than "interesting" or "stimulating," then the work cannot be considered successful. Thank you so much for such a valuable perspective. At the same time, I apologize for taking up your time.
  11. I don't like it. It sounds most times confused and weird.
  12. A musical quote pertaining to Tchaikovsky incoming! It's from "The Misfits" by Colin Wilson: And if you've gotten this far, thanks for reading!
  13. I’d appreciate any feedback on my improvisation. Also I’ve never composed a piece before how would I go about that? Do you guys record your improvisations and try to transcribe segments from them when they seem useful? May 9.mp3
  14. Hellooo, I made this waltz as an attempt to approach music for pedagogic uses. I also tried to give it a 'funny' sound so this waltz uses a lot of dramatic/parodic gestures. I think it turned out pretty good and funny. Hope u like it!!!!! <3<3 ·<{:D Vals I.pdfVals I.mp3

  17. This is just my Opinion......you don't have to agree with it............But maybe its best to base opinions on fact not fiction. GENRE | Music can be classified into GENRE | Disco-Rock-Classical-Folk : - what GENRE is your composition ? CATEGORIES | This concept identifies the difference between an "Apple from an Animal"........Music from Noise.
  18. This is my Piano Composition No. 4. I hope you enjoy it! Feedback is always welcome! Piano Composition no.4.mp3
  19. Here another example with text in Latin.
  20. Thank you for your reply and honest thoughts. -Regarding your question Music is a work of sound. Therefore, as long as it is presented as a "work," it is created with some kind of purpose or intention, regardless of whether the sound itself is noise or not. In that sense, the difference between noise and music isn't about the sound itself; rather, it’s about whether that sound has been incorporated into the context of a “work.” If a sound has no intention behind it and is not presented in any form, it is simply noise. However, if it is presented by the creator—or even perceived as such by others—it has the potential to become music. Regarding SFX (Sound Effects), they are not the primary focus but rather a secondary element to the visuals. While they undoubtedly play a crucial role, whether SFX can stand alone as music depends on whether making them so is "meaningful." At the same time, I believe another essential factor is whether the work brings value to the creator or the audience—be it through being provocative, original, or inspiring. Even if you present a sound work with a specific intention, its true "greatness" is objectively evaluated by whether it is genuinely meaningful. That is exactly why I would like to hear your honest opinions on what you all think of this piece.
  21. |Question |..... Whats the difference between " MUSIC vs NOISE " ?.....Is it possible to convert NOISE into MUSIC ? Your Sounds might be classed as : SFX | SOUND EFFECTS .

  24. Hey there! I am new to this forum and would like to present my piano ballad (version 86). It was critized strongly in another forum, mainly because of the piano melody. The piece isn't completed in full. From 1:53 on the dynamics of the topline strings aren't edited yet. Because of the many critics I composed 3 new piano melodys (version 90,96,101). What is your hearing impression? How do you find the 3 melodys? Piano Ballade_86.mp3 Piano Ballade_90.mp3 Piano Ballade_96.mp3 Piano Ballade_101.mp3
  25. Here is a new section to the piece, any and all feedback is appreciated. Note that some of the markings and instrumentation is for the purpose of the playback. The instruments take up three pages so it’s kind of a tedious read ScreenRecording_05-08-2026%2000-56-14_1.mp3 C major.pdf

  27. Hello! This is an original composition that I plan on submitting for an ORFF workshop competition. The guidelines were to use 3 xylophones, a glock, a bass xylo, and any unpitched percussion. I had fun writing this, but I'm curious as to what grade ORFF certified people as well as fellow music educators think this would be suitable for. I'm planning to submit it to the 5th-6th grade category. Feedback is very appreciated! Thank you! Sonor Orff Piece - MP3.mp3 Sonor Orff Piece - PDF.pdf

    Thanx.............. perhaps we can discuss this privately via personal messenger The ability to export to midi................ could be complex.
  29. Thanks pateceramics for your review and appreciation of the piece. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks also for giving me the idea of caesura markings. I will make sure to consider them as an option in future pieces for solo instruments.
