i have not taken any composition classes before and also the title of the piece is just a placeholder, the reason why it's called Fiesta is that that it's the name of the song the melody originated from (also if u cant tell, the audio is just extracted from musescore) any feedback would be appreciated! thanks for checking it out! advanced.mp3 advanced.pdf

I think you have a lot of natural talent and creativity. Attending a class for something is nice, and can be really helpful, but there's really no substitute for just doing something and seeing and hearing for yourself what works, and what doesn't. Listening to and analyzing what other composers have done is an incredible education in and of itself. It's impressive that you wrote this in such a playable and natural way! I hope you hold on to this colorful whimsy, too. Thanks for sharing! This was a lot of fun to listen to.

Just a simple piano romance for my girlfriend Julia (for her birthday). Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think! A Romance.mp3 A Romance.pdf

I love this, particularly since I'm a sucker for heavy reverb, The harmonies are quirky, in a good way. The only thing that really sticks out to me is specifically ms. 10. I'm craving some kind of descending bass there, to offset the parallel motion, especially since that mirrors mss. 33-34. Maybe L.H. E-Eb-D-C#, and last chord is A/C#? Keeps the chromatic flavor. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing this, this is really lovely.

hey this is pretty great! I've never really had concrete composition classes, so I can't give any specific tips but I do play a bit of piano and enjoyed this quite a bit. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your creativity!

I wrote another Romance for my girlfriend Julia's birthday. I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think! Romance No. 2.mp3 Romance No. 2.pdf

Hey Peter, I enjoy this one more than the no.1 one, probably since if I were Julia, I would enjoy a more sugary Rachmaninoffian style than any compositional thoughts haha *0*. This one sounds Brahmsian to me though because of how you handle the motive with saturation. Nice ending as well. Henry
