N.I.C.E. ..................And each one no longer than 2mins.

Yes its Good.....................What TEMPO-BPM.......... is that ?

Yes. For my taste it is a bit fast. But it's a personal thing. I think the phrasing is lost a bit and the repeated notes, for example, sound totally percussive.

It's actually quite funny how this person couldn't be bothered to read between the lines and as such your comments' whole point flew right over their head. Really amusing how they have essentially exposed themselves by trying to expose me, like calling them out in private for these immature tactics they're displaying at any point warranted any kind of convincing response. Moreover, playing the victim card by accusing me of "toxic masculinity" or whatever for defending myself and pointing out what they're doing is pretty low, specially coming from someone repeatedly showing this kind of behaviour. Anyway, not much else to be said about this person, by their actions it should be fairly evident by now that they are clearly ill-intentioned and ostensibly incapable of taking criticism or self-reflection. Thank you for your help nontheless, Henry, as I would have otherwise lost my temper and wasted my time and energy all by my own on someone who plainly does not deserve either of those.

I have actually seen that post you have made and I actually thought it was really interesting since it came out from you.

Thankyou ....................................That "Inbox message"..................... was A clear Case of Toxic-Masculinity

There's indeed no need, Pabio was trying to save your face but you just openly disclosed the inbox message yourself by posting. That's really X-C-LENT!

Thankyou for your Inbox-Message............................................But theres no need to worry.

I did play around with your suggestion, changing the triplets to the 16th notes, and yeah, it is so much more smoother now. However, I wanted variation on the second repetition, so I substituted the rhythmical change for harmonic and dynamic. I changed a bit of the notes from the ostinato, and the passage now crescendos a bit to forte then diminuendos to the unchanged pianissimo, just to add contrast. I've also properly modified the repetition at the end of the piece to match the change. Thanks for the suggestion and feedback! Glad you like the piece!

Here is a real performance of the revised version

@Luis Hernández Thanks! Yeah the virtual piano is terrible lol. The speed though, do you mean you think it's a little fast?

Condensing a score in Muse score is definitely not one key stroke, but is not as tedious as you may thought it’s a few more extra steps. I think you just have to go into the format of the score and click on condensed score or something. I’ve done that many times .even the sound mapping is more difficult than condensing a score.

This is a 3 year old topic: I don't think the topic is relevant anymore.

Yes there is..................... You'd have to be blind not to see it in the Comments................But its not in the Majority............but in the Minority. "DENIAL IS NOT JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT"..................................Possibly has a Detrimental-Effect on the Young and Vulnerable. But L.I.F.E......... is a 4 letter word.

The one thing that didn't quite work for me were the initial shifting rhythms in the piano in the opening bars. (Measures 5-7 in the right hand). It felt like the effect you were looking for was more like just a rit. and having everything written out into different triplets didn't quite give as smooth a change in tempo as perhaps you were trying to achieve? I really like this piece very much though! Sterling work! As neither a pianist nor a clarinet player, I can't speak to issues of playability. It seems like it would be a challenge to learn, but well worth the work! Very lovely!

This video explains the book 'for young composers (& their teachers)', which many instrumental teachers have found useful.

It was my composition tutor who made the comment. He's a professional composer. He said MuseScore doesn't have the same granular control as Dorico or Sibelius. One thing that's definitely easier in Dorico, is switching to Film Score format. I gather it can be done at the touch of a button; whereas in MuseScore it's very fiddly. Also creating a condensed score for the conductor can be done with one keystroke in Dorico. Not sure if there's anything that simply can't be done in MuseScore though, as there are often ways of fudging things. I've never tried making an aleatoric score: so maybe that's one problem area?

Of course, yes. I understood the intention of the third of mischief, giving a more optimistic ending. What I meant was that it's not something that romantics did. If we get into their way of thinking, everything was sad and gloomy in these kinds of pieces. But, of course, it's a choice to use it.

Very True..................."Time is Money"

Buenos días, Luis. Thank you very much for your kind words. As for the picardy third, its usage here isn't merely just a stylistic preference, it's also intended to be symbolic in nature, as the piece is sort of meant to evoke the feeling of a raging storm finally coming to a standstill, and that picardy third at the end represents the final glimpses of sunlight amidst the dark clouds, as well as the enlightenment that befalls a period of great pain, confusion and soul-searching. A subtly fleeting glimmer of hope, the omen of a rainbow as the ever-creeping conflict suddenly comes to an end. Muchas gracias por todo. 🙂

There is a book 'for young composers (& their teachers)' published by Camden Music available from Chimes Music in London. I wrote it with this very topic in mind; many teachers have found it helpful.

It sounds very good and I identify it in that early classicism style. I think it has good themes and a quite spectacular development. The only thing I have to object is that the union of the sound of the virtual piano and the speed of the piece makes (for me) that the musicality is lost a little. Greetings.

This work is impressive and considerable. I think that for its length it has no comments. Nowadays it is difficult to hook people with extensive works. Greetings.

It is a beautiful little piece of work. I think that in this romantic style, the background of the counterpoint, which is what (I think) you master the most, is more than fundamental. Although some people don't pay it the attention it deserves. It's very emotional and that's why it's in the style. What I think is less frequent is to use the picardy third at the end. Greetings.
