Thanks for your reply! Here's what measure 29 should look like if the beats were aligned properly according to the correct placement of strong and weak beats in your piece: It makes a very small and barely noticeable difference in the recording. But, especially if you ever gave this to real performers, it would bother a performer to read the music feeling like the strong and weak beats are in the wrong places in relation to the bar lines. In 4/4 beats 1 and 3 are strong beats and beats 2 and 4 are weak, but here you in measure 29 you had them switched. But sometimes composers do do this deliberately as in Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 Pizzicato Ostinato or Stravinsky's Last Piano Etude (in F#) from his 4 Etudes for Piano. I hope this clears up any confusion! Thanks for asking.

hi been working on this piece for a month now, almost straight after "Your Reality," and around the release of Deltarune's Chapter 3+4. i was super inspired by the new osts so i decided to make a "theme and variations" piece from one of them. you could see it as the next step in my "actually learning orchestration journey," after making an arrangement, i guess this time (unlike the previous variations piece), i've divided the variations into three parts. the piece is halfway done in DAW, so i've started to make the score. also, when i do so, i usually polish and look for parts that I can optimize at the same time. the score currently contains only the introduction and the theme since that's the only progress that I've made with scoring. instrumentation : 3(III=pic).3(III=corA).3(III=bc).2 - 4.3.3.1 - timp.perc:glsp/xyl/2toms/sus.cymb/cyms/tgl/tamb - strings lemme know what ya think and feedbacks are always appreciated! OST:

First Movement of your Ab, #2, nearly made me cry; usually only a Gout attack can make me do that!

Hello, thank you very much for listening! You are right that the tension and release in the composition are not built up directly harmoniously, but perhaps that is a specific feature of this music? It's hard to say. In any case, I'm glad you liked the composition!

it's because i used an organ used in the ost of Deltarune which is greatly inspired by earthbound. if you like earthbound i think you should play Deltarune or Undertale.

Hello @therealAJGS and welcome to the forum! I think this music reminds me of the OST to "Earthbound" a classic SNES RPG that I played as a kid. The organ sounds remind me of the vibe of that game. So, to answer your question - I think the genre could easily be VGM because this sustains a certain mood/vibe throughout the whole duration of the piece. It certainly doesn't fit in "Orchestral and Large Ensemble"! So I'll move it to Incidental music. Thanks for sharing!

Hello @Petr Kopuletý and welcome to the forum! I see you've submitted two pieces here before, but I have not had the occasion to review them yet. I like this piece! There's definitely a musical ebb and flow and gradual building and resolution dynamics wise. I think the only thing I have to complain about is that the piece to me lacks harmonic tension and release. It accomplishes its building and resolution through adding and subtracting instruments and having them play louder or softer (or having the piano play thicker chords or more complex rhythms which definitely have their charm!). But then again, your harmonic approach is individual and anything but ordinary. There's even some imitation between the flute and piano at 8:53 which is a great feature! The piece slowly winds down and comes to a well deserved but unusual conclusion - one that I perceive as quite divergent from a traditional tonic resolution! It'd be interesting to look at a score. Thanks for sharing!
