Another wonderful piece!! I love the changes in character and how you developed the piece throughout, while still keeping a very cohesive sound. Well done! I really don't have any critiques, other than to edit the orientation to make it more suited for printing it and playing i t.

Hello! I come to you with yet another refurbished piece from over a decade ago. I welcome any of your comments, critiques, feedback or observations. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy! A Scherzo in Bb.mp3 A Scherzo in Bb Print.pdf

Ahh yes i see your point, Usually the signed "Contract-Clauses" pre state this, in order to prevent prosecution. Iv included the MID & PDF files above.

This is a nice piece! It would be great for students working on waltz patterns, since the melody, especially in the beginning section is more simplistic and repetitive so they can focus on the LH. However...I would love to see you develop that section a little more. Rhythm, the shape of your line, etc. Just for some variety so it's not so repetitive - repetition is good,but not to the point where listeners are no longer "surprised" by what they're hearing/what they might hear. Your B & C sections do a much better job of applying this - repetition without becoming TOO repetitive. Good job overall, keep composing! I would love to see how your work grows

I pray for the fingers of the pianist who attempts performing this piece lol. It is so fast. But the arpeggios are nice, but I feel as though the piece could benefit overall from a slower tempo. Your progression is very nice.

paganini violin concerto 1 is so underrated everyone knows concerto 2 which is la campanella and people usually know it by liszt's piano version which is SO overrated and practically no one knows violin concerto 1 even tho its so good

@TristanTheTristan It's interesting that you would mention the influence of Prokefiev and Rachmaninoff on this one. It's certainly there with this one, but I don't feel like it shines through quite like it usually does--I take a lot of inspiration from the late 19th and early 20th century composers for most of my work, especially the Russian ones (I <3 Stravinsky).

Hi, TristanTheTristan, This music is enjoyable. It seems tough to play on the piano, but the rhythmic feel of the arpeggios is great. Personally, though, I felt the ending after 1:06 wasn't really necessary. It might feel more natural for a miniature if the arpeggios just slowed down to a smooth close. Overall, it’s a nice arpeggio miniature Best, Lithl.

Without a score - Then the reader has no way of knowing how you approached and composed the works. It could be a cut and paste job. Mark

Coming back here, so much nostalgia!

1: "The sound tracks seem to be attached to a specific period ... television shows/movies from the late 1960's and 1970's." That is Correct ✔️ 2: "In both works the musical themes seem too familiar and a bit unoriginal." That is Incorrect ❌ 3: "Are these piece mixes of other period works?" That is Incorrect ❌ 4: "Why not post the scores?" Not Necessary ❓

This is a nice piece of music! You have included some prokofiev and rachmaninoff essence, especially in the development section. It is sad that you have used a electrical sound, which in my opinion, makes a sound a bit worse. Your opening theme is innovative and smart, seeing the idea of I,I, V. This allows it to feel even more like a waltz somehow. Some advice I give everyone when composing, is to try not to use specific numbers, especially not the ones not on a standard metronome. Instead, what I like to do is to use italian phrases such as Allegro or Presto. The final chord should be arpeggiated. In conclusion, it is a good start. TristanTheTristan

I always like this song by him! It's used in Wong Kar Wai's In the Mood for Love. Henry

Thankyou Kyle Regarding YOUR future compositions ?..............................The Best is yet to come.

This is a fun piece Peter! I love the rhythmic motifs you used, they were very catchy. Some of your piano part (m.10-13), has a bit of a gospel chord comp sound, which I love. Your treatment of the strings here is very clever and well thought out...your choice in dynamics + with the lines you wrote make this piece sound fuller than just a trio. Your pizzacato sections rise up out of the first 1-2 measures of piano (excellent use of dynamics). The timbral changes are a nice contrast to the soaring lines you start with. (I am obsessed with the Bb-Bb-A/Ab-F 🤌🏾) Another wonderful piece!! Thank you for sharing 😁

The instrumental sections of "Stardust" sung by Nat King Cole. That intro is heavenly! https://youtu.be/EENrbo-Zvs8?si=p1U0fLyCjt7sd5t- The instrumental bits are so delicious, so stunning! How does anyone write something as beautiful as this just out of thin air?

Very creative composition: Suggestions: Those thirds and those sixths are extremely cumbersome to play in the piano at that tempo, especially meas 23. (The measures before hand are not going to be smooth. Yeah, Liszt did it but not all the time and he was the greatest) Meas 53: You are going to have problems executing that. My $0.02

I need to try that. I am still an advent Finale user .

Anything about the book of Matthew, I love it. Critiques. This could be..and probably should be done with traditional String Quartet. Odd instrumentations tend to not get played. String Quartets ALWAYS get played. 24-7, 365; a string quartets are playing somewhere.. The arco might not be feasible in meas. 2. You may need to take out the E5 on the "e of 4" to make that arco happen. Also, I know you want it short, but....the rule of thumb for typesetting is don't use rests whenever necessary. SO, perhaps write the cello with eighth notes instead. It's just a cleaner look and easier to read. The equivalent would be writing you reading this sentence with all this space. It can come off as real gratuitous, convoluted. and byzantine.
