Thanks Peter! Lol!!

Nice Peter! I like the original too @gaspard, is there actually an early music video game in the works? Cuz i'd be very interested in that 👀

Hey @Alant! I like this a lot. It does sound like it could be the soundtrack to a chill video game. I actually think a mixture of instruments would be favorable! I preferred the deepness of the bass in the first version, that was really nice, though i like a lot of the new stuff in the second version too. You could combine them. As for ideas for what could come next, if it were me, i might do a pause followed by a big tutti g chord, and then continue in G major. And maybe do some inversion and retrograde with the motifs you have?

@David_DLM Hey, thanks so much for the kind words!

Thanks @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu! I'll have to check some of those rags of his

I went through a ragtime phase in high school, and this one I think is the most solid out of the rags i composed. I picture an old squash and stretch car from those classic cartoons, bouncing along at a moderate pace

@Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Thanks Henry for the listen and the review! Yeah it all kind of flowed out of me in those 4 days haha. I think you're absolutely right about the slurs, in fact i could go through and add more specific articulations and directions in general. Do you think the high pizz. would come across better if i added a direction like giocoso? Those measures and 132-139 are meant to be like a silly playful vibe.

This sounds like minecraft music, and i mean that in the best way possible. Very pretty, and so is your collage art!

@Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Thank you for the review! Ugh i knowwww i just love it so much. I'll have to find a way to get a similar sound but playable... I'm afraid i don't hear what you mean - which one is the augmented second in that bar? I just see minor thirds I know i really wrote myself into a corner in those places haha Thanks again for the feedback, i'll keep all this in mind for future pieces!

Another piece from 2018, in a style that... well, i'm not really sure. It's got bits that sound classical, bits that sound romantic, and to me some portions even sound more modern like new age, folk or pop. I wrote it in 4 days so everything kind of just flowed. What do y'all think? Any feedback is welcome

Lmao! Your own B-A-C-H motif, perhaps? 🤔

@Henry Ng Tsz Kiu @PeterthePapercomPoser Thanks you guys, that's helpful to hear. Peter i didn't know that about beethoven! Wow even he had insecurities

I'm late to this topic but i wanted to chime in anyway because the reason i'm late is the same reason i don't review more works. For me it's lack of energy, i feel like that part of my brain that would analyze and give feedback, or even engage with topics like this, is just too tired and i end up not doing it. I selected a few of the options but that's the main thing. Oh also, an equally big reason is that many (most) of the composers on here are leagues ahead of me so how am i gonna tell them how to improve, y'know?

@bkho Ohh haha thank you, i've got a lot to learn before i'm near someone like mozart, but i appreciate the compliment nonetheless. Totally with you about the dynamics, they went through like four different iterations before i decided to cop out and leave them "up to interperetation". Maybe i'll try again

I totally hear you, i think it's the midi piano creating most of those problems. But a performer could take it a few bpm slower, i wouldn't mind
