I really can't listen, it makes me too sad; the humanity... ...but a great quartet in very little time. I mean, the dude beat Mozart Speed and still wrote a great, but sad quartet!

Yes, my MASTERPIECE! Sounds like Shostakovich, on a bad day...☹️ ...like too much Vodka and strong Russian cigarettes! Lived to 69 or so anyway...I LOVE Shosty! Moi griazniy malenkey malchik... (My dirty little boy.) Dmitri Shostakovich - String Quartet No. 8 Three days for this quartet, after viewing the firebombed ruins of Dresden. The German Leute did not commit the crimes of the Nazis!

Hi @Fruit hunter ! I think the introduction does a good job of creating a mood/vibe and sets the expectation for the rest of the piece. The introduction is static in harmony but active in melody. Then you seem to develop the piece with a wide array of percussion instruments that create a cinematic portrait of "the creature". There are short motifs that recur throughout the piece in the harp and pitched percussion instruments and even woodblocks which is cool. Then, before the 4-minute mark you start a sort of simple chorale that's very affecting. This calm and tranquil lull quickly builds into a sustained intensity that is very powerful! The harp motif from the beginning returns near the latter half of the piece before a percussion frenzy and foreboding strings. The intensity rises perhaps to its highest pitch before the 10-minute mark. The hurried ending seems contrived, and I think a soft fade out could have been a more artistic choice. The piece overall seems to start in F# minor and end in B minor so I can't say that it didn't modulate or take the listener anywhere harmonically, but it seems to have done the minimum amount of adventuring through different keys that it could while sustaining the moods it was trying to convey - that's my only critique though without looking at the score. Thanks for sharing!

I can tell you all that this little misunderstanding, interchange, will force me to complete this piece, piano prelude. It will be good when I get to it, but probably not my best. 🙃

Ah ok

Sehr Gut, for now. I don't want to insult ANYBODY, let alone a site admin, but I have a weird sense of humor; you can hear it in my music sometimes!

Thanks, Peter. I don't want to get suspended again, and your music is very proficient and good, based on what I have read or heard.

Well, I am a BIT drunk, but still lucid. Can we forget about this trivial minor disagreement? We are BOTH composers after all, and some composers can be a**h$les without meaning to, like Herr Mozart.

Honestly I think you are drunk and you don't know what you are doing and saying LoL

Where did I say you were attacking me? I don't see what there is to reconcile about.

Jesus, Peter, I am not attacking you! You are a very good fellow composer! It's just like sometimes you can't take a joke, take it as a personal insult, and I don't mean to do that. Can we reconcile? And I am not a mod or an admin. Forgive my amateurishness, if my posts are not always exactly in the right place.

Thank you? I think? I didn't take things personally at all. Actually I thought your Space Nerd piece was quite good and idiosyncratic. That's why I made a dedicated topic for it. Plus all original pieces of music are supposed to have their own dedicated topics per the forum code of conduct and etiquette. Since I am a site admin I was just doing some moderating by making sure that your posts are in their right place in the forum.

I don't know if your "joke" makes him sad or not but it makes me sad seeing you attacking people with "jokes"

Lord Christ; sorry I said that, but sometimes I think certain people are too sensitive to a simple pun or joke. No hard feelings? I'll behave, somewhat, at least.🙃

He is a good composer, and I like his music. Way too sensitive, though, and has problems taking a simple joke.

Why do you call Peter "Peter Toilet Paper Composer"? That's VERY IMPOLITE of you to say so. He is very well respected among us and NO ONE should stigmatize him with such nasty nicknames. Henry

Jesus, Peter Toilet Paper Composer; CALM DOWN! I think you are a talented and competent composer, but stop taking things so personally!

Here's a masterpiece of a Violin Sonata: Brahms: Violin Sonata No. 1 in G major, Op. 78 (with Score)

It is by Outis, Ancient Greek for Nobody, so obviously, free to play around with; public domain. It is such a masterpiece, though...🤣

Space Nerd Free Sheet Music by Outis for Piano/Keyboard | Noteflight ...My piano MASTERPIECE!!! 🤣

To complete, I would actually have to do some ANALysis! Work on variations of that chord...bit too drunk right now! 🫠

Sh*t, I'm not digging! Never expected this trifle to have so many views! I may finish it, but it will be no masterpiece! Cool chord, though! 🤣

Usually if you keep digging your own posts it will attract views. 🤣

That many views, and so I have to finish this piano prelude eventually! You people are MAKING ME WORK!!! 🤣
