Greetings. This is my second post on the Young Composers community, and I would like to present my recent piano composition. This piano piece is a short étude in the key of G sharp minor, a study for developing right-hand dexterity. Besides, this composition was an attempt to write a perpetuum mobile, consisting of notes of equal length played rapidly. Let me know what you think about this piece. I hope you will enjoy it!

Another sinfonia...

Thanks for your valuable feedback. Yes your right about the time here... Lol basically I myself was too lazy about contemplating about the rythm and I was like: well too many notes in one bar? Let that be 6/8. I forgot to pay attention to the accents.

This was long overdue. I created a new forum here: Job Advertisements Feel free to add your job posting here. In fact, I'm going to move a post I recently created there as well.

This is great! The only comment I have about it is that it seems to be in 3/4 rather than 6/8. The rhythmic identity of your motive is in duple rather than triple time. It starts on beat 3 (beat 2 in 3/4) which is an off-beat in 6/8 (and given the slurry of consecutive 16th notes doesn't sound like a pick-up but instead accents that beat). If you look at the whole rest of the sinfonia, there are many places that put an emphasis on beats that are off-beats in 6/8 but on the beat in 3/4 which contribute to this feeling. Great job though. The motive is long and has it's own characteristic identity that's memorable. Thanks for sharing!

Hey thank you very much for your thouthful comment, I just reviewed what you said about measure 16 and what you said totally makes sense. I am trying something quite new to me in this piece with these diminished harmonies I still don't totally get how to lead and resolve their counterpoints. Like you said there is a lot of sharp/flat mixing it gets really confusing and I end up just botching it up xD It's weird about the voice leading thing, a very seemingly wise counterpoint person told me I had this problem, I am self taught and at this point that I started uploading my pieces it is vital for me to get any kind of feedback so I wanted to inquire further about this. A point he made was about measure 3 for example: is it really bad for G to jump up to C instead of resolving to F in this context? I thought it was justified with the G - F movement already being resolved by the left hand. Also as G - C being a fourth skip is not an all that jarring of a movement is it? Again, thanks a lot for taking your time to listen and write about it !
