Well, just you wait, by the Dirty Boy!

Try this, the closest Rock thing to a classical piece...

Despite the weak (for Beethoven) last, choral movement. The choral writing is good, if anyone can sing it! The loose theme and variations form doesn't quite hang together...

Yeah I love all three of them as well! But not my most favourite Symphony! Mine is the ninth!

Voted, and it is as I thought, the seventh! Apotheosis of the dance...did Schumann say that? If anyone just said to me "what does a Beethoven symphony sound like?" I would put this on first, not the fifth! But taking another look at the voting results, what's wrong with the second, fourth, and eighth? 😆

Oh Jesus, don't get me started! This is at least video game-like...I can't find the rest of the melody! Ну, погоди!!! Free Sheet Music by Грязный мальчик for Piano/Keyboard | Noteflight

You know, I may have been trained in classical composition, but I am a classic rock fan too! RIP, or not...the cat had a great voice!

For guitar fans like me! It just popped up.😆

Hey Elma! Nice start in a lot of areas. Is this something you’re looking for feedback on? If so, what level of feedback?

I really should get the other two in...😛

This is my most popular piece on the internet. My brother almost wants to make love to me over it. I think it is a good piano piece. I wrote it in some bar or coffeeshop in 1996. Thoughts?🤣 Barcarolle Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Piano/Keyboard | Noteflight

Hello @gigashahriar and welcome to the forum! I'd be happy to listen to your original piano piece, but I can't find a link anywhere for where I could listen to it? Am I missing something?

Hi everyone, I’d like to share one of my original piano pieces. This composition blends classical influences with a more contemporary feel — something that reflects both my training and my current explorations in music. My goal with this piece was to create an emotional flow that feels timeless yet modern. I’m opting in for a chance to have this featured in a YouTube video/short. It would be great to see how it works in a visual context, and I’d be happy to hear any feedback from fellow members here. If you’re curious about more of my work and past releases, you can also find them here: Gianluca Fronda Looking forward to your thoughts and constructive feedback!

Hi @Kvothe, I am not expert in counterpoint, so take my comments with a grain of salt. Most of your exercise would be technically correct, as it is mostly thirds and sixths. I see you have an interval of a fourth in m.14. This interval, in classical counterpoint, would be considered a mistake (even though in other types of counterpoint it would be acceptable). So, strictly speaking, your counterpoint is not wrong. However, most times counterpoint is used as an exercise by setting up some rules and learning how to compose while sticking to them. These rules can be really varied, but some of the common classical rules are: 1. Using mostly third and sixths (up to three times in a row of the same interval at most) 2. Trying to make the melody move mostly by step, with occasional jumps (making the melody as melodic as possible). 3. Contrasting contour between melody and bass to some degree, where at times when one goes up, the other down, and vice versa. 4. Avoiding parallel fifths and octaves, having fifths only in contrary motion, etc. For example, in your exercises the melody is jumping around too often, which, in classical counterpoint, would be considered something to avoid. So, while your exercises are not wrong, I think you would benefit more by setting up some rules and following them, since using sixths and thirds without consideration of the melodic contour would be easy and, while technically correct, I am not sure it would help you as an exercise. Hope it helps and thank you for sharing your exercises!

Well, I don't mean to sound pedantic, but music is music, is it good or not, and will it last? Beethoven is more popular than the poppiest pop song, given the years.

That makes more sense! Thank you for the insight

I'll quote for you another passage from Chapter 31 of Gabor Mate's "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" - a book about addictions:

I shouldn't "bump" my own piece, but this might be the favorite for me that I wrote this year, even if it is not upbeat and jolly at first! I didn't think of this when I wrote it early this year, but my Guitar Trio has a story, a "program" as they say. It's an Eastern European guy, let's just say a Russian in Siberia for convenience, though he could be Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Byelorussian, and it is a hard Winter: he can only play his little bit of guitar and his wife sings or something. They are frozen in, and all he can think of is dancing at the Siberian Bar! He gets to do that in the last movement!

I just noticed "literally" as these kids today are wont to say, and I can't believe how many views! This piece, despite its faults, got me back into music composition this past December! It is special to me. THANK YOU!🙃

No idiom, my style, though of course influenced by others, mainly dead guys like Beethoven and such! Wow, this little dash-off has a lot of views in one day!😃

Yes, that is a good idea...however I can't think of anything that would sound good over the Dbmaj7 chord without creating an unpleasant dissonance. Oh that would be perfect. And then I would just have to write a few measures before that of "prelude" material. And lead into the strings playing the melody solo, and then the oboe emerging from there. Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it

HI there, I would like to have score this quartet so I can give my feedback. Kvothe

I truly wish we could have score: that way, we can admire the textures you are using in this composition. I love the lush strings in the opening that leads into piano solo. It is so beautiful. The brass choir is just like: now it is our turn to shine. But not before organ section? Amazing...
