Today I present my most recent work for piano. It's a "poéme" influenced by Scriabin. In about five minutes I tried to experiment with these typical sonorities, chords and textures, which lead myself to really strange paths what made me check few times everything to be sure about what was the intention and direction of every passage of the piece. I noticed that it's really easy (or at least it was for me) to go from central peiod of Scriabin to somewhat around Debussy and weird Jazz. The form of the piece is A-B-C-A, quite traditional way but I intended the themes to really blend beetween themselves and in some parts you can notice that the themes reapear in fragments in other places. (examples: the final motif of b.10 appears in bar b.36 and b.51-53 b.5 motif later in the recapitulation gets really expanded to the climax of the work being mixed with motif from b.19 in b.63-66 b.11 motif is developed into the C theme also I let yourselves to identify motif of the first theme along the piece) This piece was intended to be somewhat like a three mvts. sonata, then two mvts influenced by Scriabin 4, but finally I decided it to be in one being a "poéme". In the picture of the video you can see something near to what this piece suggests me. You are free to imagine from this point whatever it makes you feel and what story does it tell. I hope you like it and wait for your comments. Poème.pdf

Christmas Fragments.mp3 Hi All, first submission here albeit a unserious, light-hearted one (and a rushed one too). I wrote three variations on Christmas carols and named them fragments cause I didn't have the time and motivation to apply the whole ideas onto the whole carols (plus that could get boring). Instead I composed part of it as an 'aha' moment while exploring how melodies fit so perfectly to existing melodies. Christmas Couple - I have always unironically think joy to the world fits more to The Marriage of Figaro overture, so here it is. Christmas Cadenza - Well self evident (?), the rhythm fits so well even though not the same key. Recording is by musescore so the trills are kinda noisy lol Christmas Counterpoint - Basically a quodlibet, with bad counterpoint. I'm still learning counterpoint (especially tonal or more than two voices) so I put together melodies of carols / pop songs as many as I can (I counted 11) while maintaining some harmony and try not to violate basic counterpoint principles I've learnt (which I'm sure I violated a few). The result seems like a mess but hey at least I had a blast writing it. Hope y'all will have a laugh!

My Submission this year. Merry Christmas!

Hi @jejrekmek, It’s weird to think of summer sky in a cold Christmas haha!! It’s that your guitar playing and singing? It’s very nice especially your voice!! Sad that I have a bass voice and can only become a DJ voice LoL! This one is really soothing to listen to and I love the harmonics. In 1:45 it’s starting to get crazy lol! For the stickiness one it’s great therapeutic music. The timbre is again very mesmerising to listen to and I wanna sleep with this! Thx for sharing! Henry
