Hello, TristanTheTristan. This is a wonderful piece! The atmosphere of the track shifts smoothly, drawing the listener in. The composition keeps things engaging from start to finish, and the use of fast passages (rapid note sequences) is truly impressive. Personally, I like the section starting at 2:44; it has a unique yet lovely vibe. The piano part is also fantastic. Given the high quality of the work, I think it would be even better if you cleaned up the rough spots, like the audio distortion (clipping) occurring at 4:01 and 7:44. Then again, if this is just a sketch intended for a live performance, perhaps strict correction isn't necessary. You have amazing talent for composition. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece! P.S. I agree with @gooberro. @MK_Piano, thank you for always providing such great reviews! That said, this piece is really great!!

Hi @Vasilis Michael ! This one is wonderful! Recently I finally get more in touch with Scarlatti and your piece shows heavy influence of his Sonatas: echoing of passages, abrupt and wonderful modulations, all the m.d. and m.g., dexterity and touch required to play, abrupt changes of style or mood. Yours is no less wonderful than Scarlatti's Sonatas I can definitely say. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hey Kyle @UncleRed99 ! What a lovely piece which is clearly in your style: sentimental, refreshing and lovely. I like the tone color of the whole piece, and all the solo passages of the winds. Just some suggestion of mine: first the pianist isn't given a chance to play the melody at all except b.41-44. Since I've just reviewed @MK_Piano 's October piece it immediately reminds me of his piece where there is piano solo passages. I think here you can extend your piano solo passage as well and also have the winds accompanying the piano melody. Also whenever two winds are in pair, the upper instrument (in terms of score position, not range of the instrument) always have the melody. What if clarinet and oboe playing together and clarinet gets the melody? Or bassoon getting the melody over a flute countermelody? You can think of more varieties in the instrumentation as well! Also for the recurring figure in b.13: Seeing this figure immediately reminds myself of my own Clarinet Quintet 1st mov to advertise myself lol: Thx for your sharing, and my deepest condolences to you and your family for losing a family member, as Anna accompanies you for such long years as a lovely pet and family member. Henry

Hi @Lithl ! It's sad that you keep reviewing other members' posts while no one reviewing yours, so I will review this one first! I enjoy the ominous mood by playing only on the high register and the very precise rhythmic marking which creates the more random (in a positive way) effect to enhance the ghostly mood. My fav. is the no.7 one especially when there are repeating chords which is really exciting to me. I imagine the piece to be placed alongside celesta and harpsichord as in Schnittke's Symphony no.4: To me it will make the piece even more ominous! Thx for sharing! Henry

Hey Mason, I think the duration and the difficulty of the piece matches the wedding occasion: short enough, sincere enough and not overtly showy and virtuosic. It's great you have the piano playing the solo in b.30, as mostly it's doing the poor accompanying job haha. I imagine that if this piece is played in real life, you will be saying some congratulatory words and blessings to your sister in the fermata in b.29, playing the solo yourself, maybe improvising a bit, before getting back to tutti. Thx for sharing! Henry

Thanks! I want to be able to give feedback like you one day!

thx！dw i am not at home either. I will be back tomorrow. Please do check out all of it if possible! I will change the music asap as well, to make it more human and stuff.

Thank you for your kindness, @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu. I'm so happy to receive a comment on this work from you. Personally, I only write reviews for works that fascinate me, so I will continue working to create something that might one day elicit that kind of reaction from others. By the way, I recently listened to some of your past work, and it was wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing you upload new works. P.S. Thank you for telling me about Schnittke's Symphony no.4. I hadn't heard it before, so I really appreciate the recommendation. You seem to have amazing musical knowledge too! Best, Lithl.

Hello everyone, Here is a little thing that I wanted simple, in the spirit of the beginning of the century, evoking a little a song, to stick with the bittersweet character of this poetry of Laforgue. Thank you for your opinions and comments, JC https://youtu.be/Ta7B6IZlmfo?si=xCh0K7gY20E74zYd

Hi Jean @Krisp ! I have left a few words in Youtube, and I will reiterate here that I love your orchestration! To me it's more like an orchestra playing in a chamber setting which gives different contrasting mood in different passages. The use of harp definitely makes this one a lovely romantic lied. The subject of this lied really reminds of the film "Last Year at Marienbad" when the male protagonist insisted in recognizing the female protagonist, who always refuted it. All the harmonic progression in the piece well serves the narrative structure and mood change of the poem, and to me the most magical touch is the end-the narrator admits he never truly knew her and the chords ends on a suspended B minor chord, while the fantasy continues in the harp and other instruments. This heavily reminds me of the ending of Dichterliebe when the narrator and singer abruptly ended his singing by "sinking to the Rhine" and the music continues with the piano. Truly magical touch here. Thx for sharing! Henry

Since this is in essence a revised version of my earlier Enharmonic Perpetual Canon No. 3, whose single contrapuntal flaw replicated across all voices required a modification of an octave leap which ultimately ended up necessitating a transposition of the whole canon a perfect fourth higher, I decided to change the title of the entire series thus far to "Pantonal Perpetual Canons", as the previous title didn't quite serve as an accurate descriptor of the technicalities within the compositional process that gave rise to these pieces. Due to the necessary integral transposition of this work, however, the coda's newly resulting ending key (F-sharp/G-flat major), the only key along with its relative D-sharp/E-flat minor that displays an equal number of accidentals when enharmonized, far too many inconsistencies relating to the enharmonization of melodic intervals can be found in this version. Normally I would have managed to transcribe the melodic theme across all its internal transpositions in a way capable of satisfying apparent melodic continuity throughout the notation process, but due to the ambivalent quality of this key when it comes to enharmonization, not even the coda could be perfectly transcribed without far too many double accidentals. As such, as much as it irks me to see it like this, I have had no choice but to leave the currently notated version of this canon as is. The choral lyrics of this canon (once again, in Latin) translate as follows: "Change is inevitable in all things. Everything flows in the balance of those who are tempestive." As for the coda, its own lyrics further drive the meaning of these aphorisms to greater clarity and realization. YouTube video link:

Hey Pabio @Fugax Contrapunctus ! I am always in awe with your contrapuntal power and this one is no exception. The perpetual modulations through the circle of fifth matches so well with the latin text of "Change is inevitable in all things. Everything flows in the balance of those who are tempestive.", as Yijin [The Book of Change] says, "The only thing unchanged is Change itself". For me just one personal thought: maybe since this starts with E major, would it be the best to end with its tritone major, the Bb major, instead of Gb major, so the changing theme of the piece would be even better reflected? Thx for sharing this wonderful piece! Henry

Anna's Lullaby was the culimation of an instrumentation challenge posed to me by @MK_Piano , and a Piano Chord Progression & Motif that I came up with during my down time. It elicited, to me, what felt like a lullaby, or, a loving embrace. Which reminded me of one of the Family dogs that we had, growing up. Her name was Anna. She passed, in recent years, due to her old age, and she was one of the most memorable parts of my childhood. So I've dedicated this score to her memory. I feel it lays her to rest, in a careful and loving way. Feedback is welcomed! -Unc Updated - Added Oboe part, adjusted Harmonies, fixed Piano Ped. Mark Engraving. AnnasLullaby.pdfAnnasLullaby.mp3 P.S. Here's the most recent photo I had of Anna. I wish it were a better one. It's a screenshot of a video I took of her giving me a "5" or, giving me her paw. You can see her age in this photo. She was 17 when she passed.

Hello Everyone! I am here to share my newest work titled "Dear October...". Commissioned by my sister for the use in her wedding, this short work is has become a personal favorite. It had to be short for timing use during the ceremony, however, I find myself bleeding to write more. This said, if you want to find out more about the work, go to page 3 and read the "About" section. Thanks for taking the time to read this post, view my score and take a listen! (If you have any comments, both good and constructive, drop them in the comments!) [July, 2026 - Updated Score PDF] Chmbr- DearOctober.mp3 Chmbr- DearOctober.pdf

Hello! I come to you with yet another refurbished piece from over a decade ago. I welcome any of your comments, critiques, feedback or observations. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy! Edit: I've included a 2nd mp3 rendition of the piece normalized to get rid of clipping. A Scherzo in Bb.mp3 A Scherzo in Bb Print.pdf A Scherzo in Bb 2.mp3

Hey Peter, To me this sounds very like Prokofiev! The fiercely theme reminds me very much of the finale of his 7th Sonata, though in a less crazy way and in a more regular time signature. The recurring contrasting "subdue" passage really provides a very good contrast to the Fiercely passage, and even if this one is an early work of yours, the subdue passage really reminds me your late microtonal pieces despite not being microtonal here, with its mesmerizing mood and constant modulations. I like the "Serenely" passage too, though I think if played in real like it should be played with heavy rubato in the manner of a Chopin Mazurka, which would add more craziness to the score. The passage modulating and fleeting between B major/minor and Bb major reminds me very much how Beethoven did similar things in his Hammerklavier which I recently just finished practicing. Thx for sharing this enjoyable piece! Henry

https://musescore.com/user/96214813/scores/28405348 This is my second concerto, written in e minor for piano and orchestra. It consists of three movements. Mov. 1 E Moll Mov. 2 B Dur-E Dur Mov. 3 E Moll. My Internet is low so I won't bother with the details. Thx! Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. -TristanTheTristan

For all my music needs, I use forScore. (I compose using MuseScore however.) I use forScore to read and perform my repertoire and to annotate PDFs. It cost around $25 USD as a one time purchase. You can annotate combine PDFs, rearrange documents, etc. The first one I used starting in college was called PiaScore and is free to use. It’s similar in features to forScore, however, in my opinion, has a lackluster user interface. I would recommend both in a heartbeat regardless!

What software do you use? Or just photo editor

I do not mind looking at the other movements; however, I need a day or two break lol. I’m currently on a vacation visiting my parents and there’s a lot of plans this weekend. If I do, it’ll be starting next week.

Bro Seriously thank you so so so much! Idk how to tell you how happy I am! Also, will you analyse other movements too? It's fine if you don't, I am already the happiest person in the world! Thx! -TristanTheTristan

God, I can only dream of giving advice like this and such good handwriting too! 😭 You need to teach us all, I just yapped about how you can change clefs.. 🫪

Lovely sentimental work. I loved the bassoon solo in the beginning! Mark

Edits have been made to the score, as I mentioned. Check it out if interested!!!

Not quiiiite that plugin. I simply use MuseSounds Pro which includes their own mixed version of some popular plugins, which they've partnered with to create exclusively for MuseScore Studio. They can be found in the MuseHub Application. -Unc

Ohhhh.... The Double -Barrel Big Guns !...very nice.....no wonder it sounds so good.......That will create alot of Inspiration

Thank you, Lithl. :) I have a few thoughts of something I want to add to this piece, despite finalizing it. (I also noticed some engraving errors I'd like to correct.) Stay tuned, if interested :) -Unc

Regarding playback sound, I use Nucleus / Audio Imperia Flute & Clarinet, MuseSounds Bassoon, and Spitfire LABS Reverberant Ribbons Intimate Piano. It's just utilization of VST3 plugins to get that realistic playback sound :) Thank you for your kind words. I have more I have thought I want to add to this piece. Stay tuned, if interested. :) -Unc

What a Lovely little Doggy, immediately made me cry. I think some doggy's have a spirit that can be seen beyond the Fur The love they possess can be seen in certain characteristics , wagging their tale when they greet you excited about being taken for a walk, and of course Dinner-Time That kind of spirit can't be embodied by a mere human because its Far to PURE. Regarding this composition , i did previously say that your " Best is yet to come" And this is the first one, and the start of many more... perhaps your getting Guidance from someone, with the letter "A" ? --- The whole composition sounds like its being played by REAL people Because every Instrument sounds so REAL ! I dont know how you did this, but its BEAUTIFUL , just like Anna x

Hello @Fugax Contrapunctus! I really enjoyed listening to your revised canon, as it sounds very harmonious and has a constant flow that could perhaps go on forever, musically underscoring the lyrics. As reading your introduction, I see how much effort you’ve invested to make the piece what it ultimately is, and that you have dealt with the challenges to finally find a satisfactory enharmonic notation that is both harmonically correct and easy to read, so I have not gone into detail about your score. Surprisingly, although the rhythmic texture consists of only a few motifs that are repeated dozens, if not hundreds, of times as they move through the voices and instruments, it is not boring, but illuminates the theme from so many different angles until it reaches the coda, which initially introduces more tension and finally resolves. In this context, I am reminded of Bach's D major fugue from WTC2, BWV 874, which also repeats its short fugue subject extensively. Now for some thoughts that should be understood not as criticism but as questions I am asking myself: Your canons, especially this one, are magnificent examples of how contrapuntal imitation techniques can be brought to absolute perfection. However, I am not sure whether a cycle of, say, six or twelve such canons would be presentable in a live performance for an audience other than a highly educated one. For such a purpose, I could imagine that the canons should alternate with “less demanding” pieces, such as fugues, chorales, etc. (That could also be the reason why The Art of Fugue contains only two canons, as far as I remember ...)
