When I did a cleanup of my old files, I found the beginning (first 15 bars) of a waltz. My intention (back in 2010) was to write a piece as homage to Chopin on occasion of the celebration of his birthday in 1810. However, I abandoned it, because I had too many other ongoing projects. Instead of deleting it, I now finished it last week. I have to say that it was really a useful experience to write something in a Chopin-like style. The first phrases and their repetitions later on in the piece are of course very, very much Chopin, but there is also a lot, which is different. I would be curious to know what you think of it (thanks in advance for your feedback).

Fifth nocturne. Maybe too repetitive but not completely sure. Please do give feedback if you have any. Thanks very much.

Thank you very much too for you comment!

Listening to this for me, was a marvel of complexity. I looked up what an etude is and this is sure a demonstration of skill. The contrast of the quick high nimble melodies and low heavy bass I liked. The video was really cool. I think blizzard is a fitting title with melody ascending and cascading and making jumps like snowflakes in the wind. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks a bunch for taking time to listen, Em, I appreciate it 🙂 I agree with you on the difficulty spikes in the suite, some are definitely around intermediate. I figured it’s a necessary evil, because I didn’t want the whole suite to be only extremely slow, quiet pieces. Although the abundance of accidentals in Adagio might be just a tad sadistic on my part for people who are learning to read sheet music 🤭 oh well. Mwa ha ha! Again, thanks for listening!

I enjoyed this suite. I agree that chord choice was lovely throughout. Looking at the sheet music for resistance in 5/8 and adagio I'd say they look more like intermediate pieces, but like you said you tried your best! The transition from light to heavy dynamics was a pleasant surprise in adagio. Cynical was an amusing piece. A lamentation was my favorite. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
