Um... I have a lot of studying to do....:D

I have written a fugue for piano!:w00t: This is my first post that is not in the Incomplete Works section (:sadtears:) I don't know if it's much good, or even is entirley right, but this is my first real attempt. Once again: Don't expect anything great because I have been composing for three months and I have been alive for only twelve years (nearly thirteen now- blimey!:O). Anyway, here it is. I wish to thank J. Lee. Graham and his crash course in writing fugues and J.S. Bach for making this fugue possible. Fugue.mid Fugue.mus

So, you DID get around to making this! :D

I love it! I didn't have time to listen to the whole thing- only the first four minutes- but I enjoyed the part that I did hear. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but it sounds a bit like Debussy. Keep composing and post more!

^ Thank you. There are a few perfect fourths and one tritone in the first theme but yes, that's good advice. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the development section though.

Hi! This is the beginning of a sonata (1st mvm.). I had a piece that I was going to use as a single movement Capriccio, but my teacher suggested that I make it into the 3rd movement of a sonata, so now I am working on the first movement too. It is in Sonata-Allegro form. This is the projected plan for the whole sonata: I: Allegretto molto e con fuoco II: Andante con Variazioni III:Rondo: Allegretto capriccioso Remember this is only the beginning of the first movement. Also: keep in mind that I am only twelve years old and have only been composing seriously for three months. Please comment! The first theme came to me when I was in the car driving back from New York. Sonate No. 1.mus Sonate No. 1.mid

Thank you! I was just putting all of these ideas forward. They won't just be crammed together like that, but still you are giving very good advice. I was considering adding a chorus at some point. What do you think?

Hi! This is my first post!:w00t: Unfortunately, the piece is in only in the rough beginnings of orchestration. It is Marche Funebre, a sombre and dramatic piece in C minor. I have the first 35 or so bars orchestrated. I want to use all of the themes I have in here, but I think some of them are in the wrong places, created cheesy sounding harmonies so please disregard my improper placing of them. I have not added many articulation marks yet, so it is kind of dry sounding (especially the solo violin part at the end- try to imagine it more passionate) Remember: This is NOT a finished piece. This will NOT be the final orchestration. Disclaimer: Listeners listen at own risk. Please Comment! I need help, advice and criticism!:D marche funebre.MID

Sorry everyone. I tend to do things on impulse like that. I was in a bad mood. I suppose hate is a strong word, although I think that the minimalism that I have heard is quite cheesy. Do you like my picture? :w00t:

Indeed. :hmmm:

Personally, I love Schubert. He's one of my favorite composers. The Impromptus are brilliant and well thought out pieces of music. Symphony no. 8 (the best :w00t:) is one of the most enticing, attractive, and evocative pieces ever written. So, yeah.

Hello, I hate minimalism. How do you feel about it?

Here's the list: Rock music (except for a very small group of songs and even then I don't like it much.) Pop music Rap music Techno music Chopin Ballades Chopin Polonaise-Fantaisie (insufferable!) Chopin "Raindrop" Prelude Chopin Prelude no. 2 Mozart Sinfonia Concertante Mozart Symphonies (except no. 25) Mozart Piano Concertos (kind of dull) Most Jazz (exception is Gershwin, but even so, I'm a classical) Most Mendelssohn Need I go on?

Very nice.

What is your favorite musical form to write in?
