The cellist is really talented. I like her performances. Nice music, hats off!

Nice mysterious, atmospheric intro. I really like it!

Hey Guys, Here's my original composition featuring cello and violin. I've been working on this piece for 3 days. It's very hard to write for only two instruments, because it's not that easy to form harmonies with two solo instruments. Technically it's possible, but they play broken chords and arpeggios. (Of course, both cello and violin can play double stops, but I deliberately didn't add double stops to the piece.) So, it was challenging to create the illusion of harmonies without real harmonies. What's your opinion? Feel free to share it with me in a comment!

I appreciate your comment! I agree with you, repetitiveness is a huge risk in game music, and it's hard to avoid it.

I think it's a pretty good piece of music, so I'm satisfied with the result... 😄 It seems that blatantly copying someone's style is not my real superpower at all... Thanks again!

Anyway, jokes aside, maybe I’m just being ignorant, but lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Baroque music, and the trills in those pieces sounded more like groups of four sixteenths or thirty-seconds rather than triplets, the way I used them, or sometimes they had an even more intricate structure. But I could be wrong about that. To me, my piece doesn’t sound particularly Baroque, neither melodically nor harmonically. I actually feel it’s more Romantic than Baroque, though it’s true that it’s not really Chopin-like or Liszt-like either. Does it remind you of the Baroque style? Which part exactly? Thanks again!

But I invented the baromantic style. There's nothing wrong with that! I'm an innovator...

I rewrote the piece a bit, added some ornaments, tempo changes, and a few runs. I think this version feels more like it could’ve come from the Romantic era. What do you think?

Thanks for your comment, it helped a lot! The roulades and fioraturas are good ideas!

Hey Guys, I hope you are doing well. I really like composers from the Romantic era, like Chopin or Liszt, and I wanted to create a piece of music in that style. Did I nail the feel, or not? Feel free to share what you think! Thanks!

Really thanks! It was somehow familiar to me, but I also don't think this is plagiarism now.

🎵 Hey guys! 🎵 I hope you are doing well. Can you help me a little bit? I'm working on a piece of music that I want to break down in a video lesson, but the chord progression is so familiar to me, as well as this simple melody. Is this unintentional plagiarism, or am I just experiencing earworm déjà vu from common chord patterns? I know it's not perfect in its current state, as it's still a work in progress. Thanks for your help!

Hey Guys, I just wanted to share my latest video lesson on how to compose trailer music. I hope you'll find it useful and interesting. As part of this job, my composition had to replace an AI-generated track, so I'm sorry, but I'm taking the job of an AI. 😄
