Thank you, pateceramics. Let's share our knowledge between ourselves. My new ternary, slightly longer. Now it lasts for a minute. sent.mid

A small ternary form based on Caplin's analysis of Nachtmusic 2nd mvt. tern.mid

Of course, you will not go far without William Caplin's "Classical Form".

Thank you for your feedback. It is what's needed - ene xplanation of what went wrong. Allthough I, as a newbie, would like that you elaborate on this. After skimming through Caplin's book, I wrote a period (sorry, sentence). I know that this accompaniment is not perfect (or even so-so), but a corrected MIDI file would be appreciated. Especially I would like to know the principles applicable. test1.mid

Please give me feedback on this melodies.

Another melody of mine, this time made from I-V-IV-I progression. re.mid

I harmonized the melody. ha-rmonized.mid

But there's nothing wrong with the melody, as I understood you? Actually it's 8 bar verse and 8 bar chorus, it is devised to be put in Band-in-a-Box.

I try to learn composing by myself. I have no opportunity to study music with a tutor or to have a MIDI keyboard, so I learn from books (I have read the Michael Miller trilogy) and write music with Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. Therefore, I need someone to give me feedback on my self-study. I hope that here I will get all the help I need. Enclosed is one of my attempts - a short 16 bar piece. What can I do to improve it, and what pieces of composing theory are helpful here? How would you improve it (If you can, then attach your improved versions)? Thanks in advance. ha.mid
