Yes, I agree with you...it's hard to think about rules.... I also had thought about harmony, but I don't thjink that's Always ( because yes, in obvious cases it is). For instance, this nocturne by chopin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIqx0MOsNfo And this great piece by Paul senneville https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoCG-WNsZio Sound instantly differnet...the first is clearly classical, and the second is clearly more modern. In this i think that the modern sound of the second is cause by short and repeted theme. Simple harmonic with mainly diatonic chords...But that's pretty the same in Chopin's case, at least in first measures...maybe different chord progressions? I think I'll just have to manage this by ear eheh

Hello! This topic is just to hear other's opinion... Have you ever noticed that really often piano left hand, especially if using patterns, can sound like modern piano composers? something like clayderman, or Yiruma? If you ever noticed that, don't you think it sounds something like uhm... too simplistic? musically poor? I noticed that also Chopin used kind of patterns in his pieces, but they sounded richer and really better quality...Maybe because of he used to variate, adding extra notes and not keep it always same, or something else? What do you think about this? How would you avoid this left hand poorness? Just Chatting... :)

Prelude in C sharp minor
ferdi9749 replied to Josep Montserrat's topic in Piano Music, Solo Keyboard
Very beautiful...full of feelings and poweful at the same time...could I see the score? Great job! -
@Maarten Bauer thanks so much for your review! Yes you are right...there are many spots where melody does not meet harmony perfectly...my fault. I should take some time to revise this kind of things before asking for advices...And next time I will... Also thanks for the good things you said about the piece! They're not soundfonts...I produced the piece using Cubase and vst instruments...piano in particulare is addictive keys. What I have learned from you review is to better revise my pieces
-
Done...I couldn't attach it when I opened the topic because I had not it with me... Oh, it's missing dynamics and other signs!
-
I think you made the right choice, deciding to keep something hard to understand but that means what you really enjoy!
-
I really love it! It's really catchy, makes me feel totally involved in it! How did you produce it? What vst did you use, I mean. The only thing I could suggest is reduce voice overlaying in the first part...Anyway, great job!

Hello! Here is the link to my last piece...it is a piano quintet written thinking about the little things that nature offers us, and we don't notice...Let me know if you would like to see the score!
-
I agree with Vadrif about the mismatch...maybe it's because of the different rhytms? But despite of this i think it's a very powerful and well produced piece of music...Is it a kind of soundtrack for something?
-
@MusicianXX12 You are defintely right...using a different movement in left hand would have given a new "light" to the new section...I'll use this technique in my future compositions...thanks for your useful advices!
-
@MusicianXX12 thanks for yur feedback! I repeated the slow theme an octave higher in the second part of the piece just to give it some emphasis...what technique would you use as rhytmic introduction before the theme? I started showing the bass configuration...and I can only think something like that. I am curious :) @ilv thanks! Now it's clear...I'll keep that in mind :)
-
Sorry, I wasn't clear...I was meaning this "1:13 and 2:57: it is not a good idea to have the prominent presence of the leading tone in the soprano/melody and bass lines."
-
@Maarten Bauer Thanks a lot. Yes, Chopin influence is really clear in the piece..and also the mood he brought with him. Thanks for the tip about the tempo... I have already written it!
-
@ilv I just attached the score...Would you explain me better your first point? I also didn't get properly the last one ( measure 72)...Are you meaning that as first note of the measure I should better use a insted of g? Thanks for your reply...really helpful!
-
@ilv would you like me to put a mp3 file?
-
Hello! This is a finished piano piece in d minor...I just wanted some feedback and suggestions...Eventually if you can imagine new sections and developments that would be great to listen to! Thanks!

Three pieces from childhood
ferdi9749 replied to Anna and her demons's topic in Piano Music, Solo Keyboard
The way we grow up is something incredible, and looking back to what we've done is always a big funny moment! I look at my old sketches and realize why i needed so much time before my music started working I think that "Der morgenwalzer" is the nicest, and with the msot interesting lines....Why don't you give it a new try? Maybe "Der morgenwalzer...four years later" or "Der nachmittag walzer " ? -
@markstyles thanks a lot for the time you spent in writing you're answer. I really agree with you...I can't hope to write a long, well made, piece of music if I still have in mind a too much simple structure as, for instance, the small piano pieces, made out with just a theme, b section and theme again. I have to start thinking as an evolution in time, during the composition, where my characters grow up and I state it using all of the material I can...It is hard to think with my actual mind set...but I can remember the first struggle at my really first composing time...So it doesn't scare me that much trying a new mind set :) @pateceramics also your suggestion is useful again! Listening to othere beginning composer can be an interesting point of view, also showing them my opinions, I surely give it a try!
-
Thanks @pateceramics you're answer was really helpful...and so easy than I didn't have thought about a serious analysis of form! I am already looking for some good pieces to aanlyze, both piano and small ensembles, maybe string quartet...Have you got any suggestion?
-
Thanks to both of you for you replies and help me reflecting about that, but I think i have a good motivation to try composing longer pieces ( which i alwas mean to be 10:00 or less). I think that taking this task i would bo forced to modulate, use accidentals and other ways to keep the music fresh and not repetitive...I've always appreciated short compositions more than long, but it would be a nice challenge to me try stretching the duration...the problem is that I have not properly clear what try to do!

Hello! New subscribere here. I was looking for some advices about composing longer pieces of music. I ask this because i noticed that since i understood the structure of shorter musical forms ( minuets, for instance), the number of bars to expose the theme , the contrasting one ecc, I never suffered creative block or something like that. But now I wanna understand how to create longer pieces. I can arrive to a maximum of 4/5 minutes, including repetitions, but then I can't go on...Maybe loosening themes? Anothere thing i noticed while analyzing great master's compositions is in large music there is not an idea of question and answer in the melody, but a long and loose melody line...But still can't compose anything like that...have you got any advice I'll Leave an example of what I mean.
