The second installment in this suite for solo piano. (The first movement is located here.) This movement, entitled "Dans," is not a literal dance; rather, it represents the rhythm that pervades this thing we call life. The work uses a lot of whole tone chords to convey mystery, and the rhythm is in an unsettling 5/8 time. There are passages of great unrest, confusion, joy, bittersweetness, loss—the whole gamut of human emotion. I tried to keep constant movement throughout to symbolize the onward march of life. As usual, this piece is impressionistic in style: quite tonal, but chord progressions are rather free, and the key changes many times. Try not to focus too much on the melodies, but rather on the imagery the piece evokes. It will take you places (hopefully!), especially once your inner metronome jives with the strange rhythm pattern. This movement contrasts a great deal from the previous one. It tends to lack a home key except in a few passages. There are less places to "catch your breath." And there is little counterpuntal material. But there are some similarities, as well, which I hope you will pick up without my giving it away. 😁 As always, I look forward to your comments/criticisms/suggestions. Happy listening!

This "Beginner's Piano Suite" marks my so-called '3rd Opus", which sounds so odd to say. (The idea of having an "Opus" sounds awful self-important to my ears, but at the same time, it gives a sense of beginning, middle, and end, and the thought of "I'm done with this, I'm moving on to something else" is liberating, so I really like that aspect of it!) Here's a little backstory. For one thing, I was tired of making pieces of piano music that were extremely difficult to play, and I have a fondness for pieces that are simple, straightforward, and "tell a story", so to speak. So I tried to tone down virtuoso writing as much as possible, and focus on "what" I wanted to say, instead of "how" to say it. I took some inspiration from the idea of video game music, thinking of a scenario or character and having that be what started me off. Most of them are played at a really slow tempo, which is inherently easier to play. A couple are more up-tempo, and probably offer the greatest challenge. Some sections may be tricky, and might be cheating to have in a "Beginner's Piano Suite", but I did my best. It's not a very long suite. There are seven pieces, and to listen to all takes maybe 15-20 minutes or so.

Hi guys, would like to now what you think about the composition. Its hard to say in which direction it realy fits, I would say ambiental-classical. DAW: Cubase 10 Elements VST Instruments: Arturia V Collection, EW Steinway Piano VST Effects: Fabfilter Cheers!!

Hello, I'll be very glad if you check out my song and tell your opinion. https://soundcloud.com/selcukozer001/a-rose-in-winter

Play On.mp3This is a piece i wrote two years ago. Found it in my google drive randomly recently. Going to try to transcribe it though I don't have my keyboard any more. Made me wanna take lessons again! What do you think? What could be worked on?

This was written in November 19, 2012. I was quite prolific and experimental in writing music during 2012-2014, and while I was just playing around with melodies along the higher register, I decided to write this one out. While this one's a very short piece, it was among the very few ones that were actually completed, so I wanna share it to the forum. Hope you like it 🙂

Here is the piano march I composed Roberto Zini - Marcetta Sostenuta I hope you like it.

Here's another (re-upload) composition. I wrote this around December 2011 and edited in 2012 to a more pleasing and playable form. Just having fun with polka-like themes and whatnot. At first, I gave it a title "Polcharima" just for fun, but later renamed it to "Polka in D". Hope you like it 🙂

A short piece for violin and piano 🙂 Sounds very classical. I also got a little limited by my poor knowledge of keyboards… One has to practice … 😉

Attempted a section in an odd time signature. Trying to combine the middle section with the rest of the piece took ages. Please do give feedback. Thanks.

What can I say about love? It never turns out quite the way we expect. Then again neither does life. The years stack up, and the weight of all that time compacts our experiences, until we are forged into something new, like metamorphic rock. A good marriage has the same effect. As the years pile up, any cracks that once existed between us are compressed, our minds and outlooks are reformed, until after a while we have been reshaped, remade together. This music chases love, chases life. It races ahead, keeps the fire lit. It’s hunting, sniffing something out, hungrily searching through the night. The years fly by, but the fire stays lit. It’s a dance, a celebration, though a frenetic one. While you listen, stomp your foot! How about one loud clap! Why the hell not! I have a limited vocabulary for describing how it feels to experience love, real love, so I have to compose instead, to try and capture the uncapturable. This music gives just a taste of that. Love has many flavors, and this is one flavor I’ve tasted, and I want to share the feeling with the world. It may not always be pretty, but it tries hard to live passionately, to expresses itself freely, to communicate something meaningful. It doesn’t give up, even when challenges arise. It reaches out to feel a connection. It aches for it. I have experienced this love. In fact, I experienced it today, while watching my wife walk across the room. Sometimes my heart starts pounding for no reason, and this music appears inside my brain. Makes me want to spin around and around, until everything is blurry. The life we have built, the family we created, the years and shared experiences and adventures are all stacking up before me, until all I can do is marvel at the structure. Keep living! Keep love in your heart, and share it with someone whenever possible. Stomp and dance and spin. And also, lay silently on your bed in the afternoon with the person you love, and watch the sun’s rays poke through the blinds. Compare the sizes of your feet, tell a silly story, share what’s in your heart. Grow together, always growing.

This is a set of pieces I composed in Prague this past autumn. I have revised them several times since, and each movement accompanies a painting by artist Paul Klee (which I have included in the score). The piece is dedicated to a friend of mine from Austria who is very fond of art, and we went to several galleries together (hence the inspiration). While I am pianist myself, I specialize in improvisation in a style very different from this, so any feedback from the pianists would be most welcome! https://youtu.be/ldbzsicGfsE

I wrote some pieces with a jazzy feeling. Hope you like it.

I wrote this little piece....
