Huh, those two different scales together remain dissonant, even after listening several times. Interestingly, while you separated the two voices clearly, for me the base clarinet „shadows“ the lydian fourth in the soprano, so that its characteristic is not so clearly perceptible. I was just a bit confused whether the score/recording is transposing or not. I think, the score should be read „as is“ since the scales (B lydian vs. G aeolian) are explicitly mentioned in the exercise. But whenever I listen to the recording, I think the clarinets are playing a whole note lower, thus are transposing ... However, very interesting exercise – while I would prefer a slightly more harmonic approach in my own compositions.

Hi everyone, I finished a new piano piece called Cloud Ame and wanted to share. I hope you enjoy listening and welcome any feedback! Thank you

@ferrum.wav thank you for your kind feedback and anaylsis! "Fragmented ideas" describe exactly my composing style and process!😄 I am happy you enjoyed the piece and the ideas come through I intentionally left out the musical expressions and markings out of the score (half of it is me being lazy and the other half is that I think music should be freely interpreted by the player) but I do agree I should add the musical markings to be clear. Maybe in the future if I have enough songs to publish a book. That is my dream 🙂

Hi, I really don't quite understand the theory underlying the composition ... (although as a retired professor of social work, clinician, and school administrator ... retired); if you have any questions about a career in social work feel please to ask me. Now about the music ... my only observation is the pairing of the English Horn with the French Horn. I think matching dynamics would be a bit difficult since the timbre and projection of the instruments are quite different especially in the lower and upper registers. The work is quite pleasant to listen to .... and flows quite nicely. Mark

A very beautiful piece that sounds intimate and effective. It sounds like it's being played live, doesn't it?

I don't know why, but it sounds neoclassical to me. I imagine this piece in an 18th-century drawing room. I think it has an intimate, somewhat playful feel to it. Good work on these exercises.

this is a really nice and short piece !! despite how simple it is, i find it fascinating how you manage to use all of the fragmented ideas effectively. for example, how you use the cadence on b15-16 and the subsequent usages of which throughout for the ending and just leave it hanging at the V, it really gives you that floating feeling. add that with the gentle arpeggio, harmonies, and melodies and you've successfully painted a tranquil feeling on the mind if i could give feedback, i'd probably give ones for the score. maybe it could be given more information such as the tempo, slurs, dynamic, and expression markings other than that, it's a great piece. i thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. thanks for sharing !!!!!!

This time I share with you a musical quote from "The Occult" by Colin Wilson. And if you've gotten this far, thanks for reading!

Unique and very calming. The crescendo and decrescendo throughout gives the piece an interesting sense of grounded emotional instability.

This may be a good idea... for example if a member collects some number of manually awarded badges they get an extra badge for it like Bronze/Silver/Gold Collector or something like that!

sounds like a video game theme. cool.
