  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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

  6. Hello, TristanTheTristan. This is a wonderful piece! The atmosphere of the track shifts smoothly, really 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 really 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!!

  9. Thanks! I want to be able to give feedback like you one day!
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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!
  13. What software do you use? Or just photo editor
  14. 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
  15. Oak started following Alarm clock sound
  16. 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.
  17. i really want to do this but im not sure if i'll have time.. we will see!!
  18. Forsooth, I declareth my steadfast intent to partake in thy competition.
  19. 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
  20. 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

  24. I declare my intent to participate this time. The previous time I couldn't come up with something decent, but now I will try my best to submit at least something.
  25. Hello again! I spent the last few days annotating the first movement. I did about 20 pages worth and you will find my written and explicit comments at the end. I will address any questions or concerns here or in a DM, good work! D. Chenfeng - Piano Concerto no.2 [ANNOTATED].Pdf
  26. There’s a lot of talk online about AI converting MP3 to MIDI. Some people say it works great. Others say it’s a complete mess. But honestly? I haven’t really seen anyone actually test it and share the results. So I got curious. I wanted to see for myself what AI can actually do with MP3 to MIDI. How far can it really go? So I decided to run a test and share what I found. I found a free online tool that claims to do the job. No sign-ups, no payment — just upload and go. The first thing I noticed: the website clearly said “no server, everything runs locally in your browser.” That’s pretty cool. I didn’t have to worry about my music leaking somewhere. I picked a random piano piece I had on my computer and uploaded it. Then the page asked me to select the instrument. Huh. Why do I need to pick an instrument? I guess it helps the AI figure out what to listen for? Maybe it improves the accuracy. I selected “Piano” and crossed my fingers. To my surprise, the conversion was actually pretty fast. I was expecting to wait a while, but it finished in seconds. The tool also let me listen to both the original and the MIDI version side by side. That made it really easy to compare. So, how did it go? Honestly, most of it was correct — but not all. There were a few wrong notes here and there. So AI isn’t perfect yet. But here’s the part that impressed me: it had a built‑in editor. I could click on the notes and fix mistakes directly in the browser. That’s super convenient. It kind of feels like the creators knew the AI wouldn’t get it 100% right. So they gave us the tools to clean it up ourselves. Smart move. So what’s my takeaway? AI can handle a solid chunk of the work — maybe 80–90% depending on the track. But it still makes errors. The good news is, with the built‑in editor, you can tweak things manually and export it right away. I might actually use this a few more times and see if it saves me time in the long run. First impression? Not bad at all. Let me know if you’ve tried something similar — I’d love to hear how it went for you.
