are these appropriate for children?
Mooravioli replied to Mooravioli's topic in Piano Music, Solo Keyboard
Henry, very fascinating, there seems to a wide range of musical tastes among people I know, since my friend back home said his favorite poem was no 2. I think poem 1 is perhaps the least satirical although it is in a more traditional vein. As of now, I am not sure which style to choose to preserve my compositional voice. Thank you for your comment, as always. -
Mooravioli started following Intermezzo in A , Death (Setting of WB Yeats' poem) , Image in G major and 5 others

henry ng, this here is a wonderful work. Thank you for giving me a preview of this work before posting. I feel you have taken a lot of inspiration from native themes and folklore of HK; this is a promising new direction in your style as a composer. I love the tranquility of the atmosphere, juxtaposition of the neapolitan harmony, and usage of 4ths and 2nds. I have to agree with darachmiad that the main melody is quite catchy, a little bit bluesy too. Sort of reminds me of music from my home country, but perhaps because I am homesick too. Barely have anything to critique, looking forward to hearing more works. I truly think you are now building your own 1. originality 2. style and 3. uniqueness.

hello user011235(Darachmiad I believe), Thank you for your kind words, glad you found a few things unique about it. These are actually conceived as a set, but maintain distinct personalities from each other. I was planning on unifying the work a bit more, but am also happy with the final product. -

Hello Luis, Thank you for your reply, as always. You are right, there are a lot of strange techniques and chord spacings in a few of the pieces. Perhaps, the pieces are more appropriate to intermediate learners. I am also glad you mentioned the idea of musicality; since I don't specify too many articulation and dynamic markings, that will be up to the pianists to decipher. -

Hello Peter, Thank you for your quick reply to this. I do think your point is very valid, in that the child may need time to really absorb the harmonies and rhythms; I've also included a few unorthodox hand crossings which makes the technique trickier. Now that I think of it, the capybara piece would probably be a mid to late intermediate piece. As for the tempo, I just thought there should be a very subtle and gradual ritardando into the B section(measure 71) starting from measure 57. Perhaps, if I recorded my own piece, the quirky tempo change would be more clear. I'll try to work on learning it myself. very happy you enjoyed the capybara piece, though. It definitely took a while to conceive and the whole piece pretty much grew out of the idea at measure 101 - 104. I am also quite glad I am finding my own style with the piece, though perhaps the blend of styles could be a bit smoother in my subsequent numbers. -
Hello Evan, After reading through your post and listening to the music, I can feel a lot of struggle and suffering, as well as descent into madness(portrayed quite vividly in that last chord). Especially living alone, My biggest fear has always been to wake up one day and realize I am trapped inside my body. I have to agree with Peter's last post that this has a unique sound-world, but it is also a haunting one. Although a few sections are a little too gritty to my ear(high-pitched winds), you've incorporated so many novel techniques worth exploring, and perhaps I'll incorporate those into my pieces too if you don't mind. Really hope you get better soon.

ello everybody, I've spent many months working on three short new piano pieces for beginning to intermediate students. These are originally intended for children to play, but could also be for beginning adults. In these pieces, I've also tried to discover my own voice and style, do let me know how I've done in those areas. Other feedback related to technique, harmony and playability would be much appreciated. Poem 1: "based on a theme by Beethoven", updated score Poem 2: "the quirky detective", updated score Poem 3: "the crazed capybara", score

Moment Musical in A-flat major
Mooravioli replied to Henry Ng Tsz Kiu's topic in Piano Music, Solo Keyboard
Hello Henry, A very Schubertian piece you have here, with effective shifts between different textures and meters. Lots of smooth voice leading in your chorale too, though I detect a few parallel octaves in the inner voice, which is unimportant in the bigger picture. I see you are quoting the theme from your 1st "pastoral" sonata, are these two pieces (intermezzo and musical moment) suppose to be a summary of your old style? I don't think you are striving for too much originality here, but I do hope you translate the originality you've achieved in your sextet into your smaller pieces. That way, you will be able to build a style that is recognizable across many genres. -
Fugue for small orchestra
Mooravioli replied to Luis Hernández's topic in Orchestral and Large Ensemble
Very interesting work, Luis. Seems to have a lot of your harmonic language interspersed in there as well which makes it a good, captivating blend between the new and old. The orchestration also sounds quite clean and well judged; I especially like the harpsichord with it's rhythmic backdrop. Appreciate you going the extra mile and providing us with the chord labels. -
Oh darn, sorry about that, brotha, I actually gave a second thought about your question and guessed that you might have been asking about the score animation. This isn't actually a playback but you'll have to go into an editing software to edit the notes frame by frame. It works differently depending on your style, I believe Wolo Wolo Wolo gives you a very good tutorial on how he creates his animations in this video:

Henry, many many good things in these two movements. I can hear a lot of pain, and remorse but also rebirth and transcendance which is a rather unique emotion to explore. There are so many extended techniques here, but they all serve the narrative of your story. I regret to say that I am not a big fan of fugues, and couldn’t get to reviewing the fugal bits of your work since it was so dense and harder to understand, but it definitely fits the story well. I tend to prefer fugues with greater rhythmic vitality and interest since it gives the textures and lines more clarity. The transition into the giocoso is wonderful, and the climax is so energetic and blissful. The transitional material into the coda is also done well, representing the final transcendance of your character, almost akin to swan lake. I have to say there is a real depth of expression there.

Hello Henry, A lovely intermezzo based on a theme from your second sonata, was there a particular motive for quoting yourself? you've incorporated many compositional techniques organically such as phrase elision and counterpoint, and as with many of your compositions, you never sacrifice emotional expression. I don't really have anything to comment on, just enjoying the piece for it's optimism. good stuff 👌

Hey man, thank you for this wonderfully detailed reply. I appreciate your insights and can tell you have a passion for the production process, perhaps soon I will upgrade my production quality, but it will still surely be inferior to yours since I don’t use a keyboard to compose. It is quite true that those “imperfect” elements add to the realism of the orchestra. You should check out blake robinson’s synthetic orchestra, I think he has a similar attention to sound details as yours. Also I have subscribed to your channel, it is too underrated. Look forward hearing to more works.
