Yes you are right. I am in the process of writing more variations and have already released a Scherzo on 8 of these themes (I had to keep adding themes LoL). Thanks for your interest/comment!

thank you! I just wanted to make sure that you and everyone knows that these are not my original compositions but covers/renditions/mock-ups of Nobuo Uematsu's original music for the game Final Fantasy VI - he's a Japanese composer.

I have just updated the track "Save Them!" to be more complete and correct - I had originally transcribed it slightly incorrectly and left some things out. I also corrected some dynamics so that the Violas can be heard. Thanks for listening!

I have just updated the post - up to 13 themes now!!!

Hi @Sonata_5! Do you have an audio rendition of your symphony we could listen to?

That's not true Luis! We can post renditions, mock-ups and covers of other composers works here too, as long as we specify whose work we're covering!

A short musical quote from "The Occult" by Colin Wilson about Pythagoras incoming! And if you've gotten this far, thanks for reading!

The issue has already been fixed. We can now see the whole score.

Hello and welcome back @johannhowitzer! I know you're not going to revise these but, in that first fragment, isn't the penultimate chord an Abmaj7/Db? And speaking of which, the chord before that is labelled as an Fsus2/D but I see an Ab and an Eb in the bass. I personally would find a Cmaj/F chord satisfactory for the last chord. Thanks for sharing!

Another musical quote from "The Occult" by Colin Wilson. Let me know if you agree or disagree! And if you've gotten this far - thanks for reading!

Hi @interlect! Welcome back to the forum! I actually really like this piece! It has a sort of hypnotic/mesmerizing repetition which makes it really dreamy/magical to me. I love how the melody is scored as well; sometimes with solo lines; other times with a more heterophonic texture. Great job and thanks for sharing! I can't get enough of it!

Hello @L.S Barros! I think this is a wonderful concerto! I don't think you suck at Baroque music at all! I found the whole thing quite easy listening and unique and enjoyable! Did you write this for the 17-key variety of Kalimba? Seems like a very restricted range to write for, but you seem to have pulled it off! Btw, do you have a score? You would probably get more reviews if you also posted the score. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I admit that this particular exercise ended up being a little bland and unmusical. Thanks! I feel like these exercises have expanded my mind about my use of dissonance. I've already composed a piece that I feel has benefited from them, although ironically the piece is completely diatonic to A major, which was a totally unintended side-effect - but the way I approached it and composed it was heavily influenced by the chapter on quartal constructions. Thanks for your review!

Thanks for your enthusiasm! Do you have a specific piece you want a specific badge awarded to?

For my 14th casting Jewelz asked the Muzoracle "Should I go into teaching?" (Muzoracle is a storytelling/fortune telling/divination tool similar to the Tarot card deck, but with cards with musical concepts and 12-sided Musician's dice and Solfege dice. Perhaps it may be thought of as a special musical Oracle card deck.) My interpretation of the cards and dice are displayed below. Since the casting was in the key of A (because the black musician's die landed on A), it pertained to the Third Eye Chakra which is associated with woodwinds. Then, two more woodwinds cards were dealt so I picked the following three woodwinds to include in the piece: Flute, Clarinet, and Bassoon (Jewelz played Clarinet). Then there was a card in the suit of voices in the 3rd position so I included an Alto in the piece. And finally in the 4th position we dealt a triad of brass card so I used three trumpets. If you'd like to find out more about Muzoracle and how castings are interpreted go here: https://muzoracle.net/ This short musical representation of Jewelz Casting is about ~1:30 minutes long. I created the following melodic/harmonic underdrawing guided by the cards and the dice. I started the main melody with Flute and Clarinet on Bb and a rising chromatic line suggested by the dice. This was accompanied by an Alto voice singing B octaves and finally with three trumpets playing D major triads. If you've gotten this far thanks for reading! And I hope you enjoy listening to this short chamber work I wrote to represent Jewelz casting. Comments, critiques, suggestions, and observations are of course, always welcome. Thanks for listening!
