  2. I've been doing a compose everyday challenge and this is the miniature from Day 13. Probably the first piece from the challenge that genuinely feels like a complete character piece to me rather than just an experiment or sketch. So i decided to share it would love to hear what u guys think! YouTube link 13.mp3 13.pdf
  3. 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
  4. as the title suggests, for 4 months (pretty much exactly) since july 1st to yesterday, ive been working pretty non-stop on this scherzo. it has been a crazy ride, full of adventure and auto-pilot composing. many times where i just composed without thinking, and somehow it resulted in something good, maybe i should hone in on that... anyways, this was a lot of exploring uncharted territory for me. for starters, this is the first time ive ever composed something this fast, in terms of tempo (ideal tempo is ♩. = 210). used to sticking to my slow tempos, always found them easy to write in, but i thought i would use this opportunity to push myself. the other thing is ive never written a piece so non-linearly. i started the piece by writing the first 46 measures of the tempo primo after the slower trio-esque section (which i will from now call the trio). then i moved to the first fast scherzo section, in the middle of which i began writing the beginning and the final climax of the trio. sort of near the end of the first fast section, i wrote the final 21 measures of the piece. after that it was completely linear work. im definitely warming up to that process, it's the second time ive used it for a major piece of mine. all being said and done, 4 months, 1096 measures, and 17 minutes later, ive finished my scherzo (my longest purely developmental piece yet)! a big inspiration came from suk's scherzo fantastique and the scherzos from shostakovich's 6th (i think the 2nd mvmt counts as a scherzo) and 9th symphonies. generally, the point of this scherzo was to have lots of completely unexpected but natural things, and a lot of jokes, and to never take itself too seriously. even the slow section is, at least the way i look it, light-hearted, not deeply emotional or intense. i am EXTREMELY proud of this piece, though this is before any cleanup and editing, still have that adrenaline rush and love eyes/ears that come from finishing a piece lol (though im open to feedback of course). would love if you could take 20 minutes to listen to it, i hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed writing it!
  5. Hello Everybody, I know it's been a while since I was last active here, but I wanted to share a new prelude I've composed. This is a rather short work I plan on sending off to a piano composition competition, since I think the recording will do it justice. Another thanks to my piano teacher who made the effort to record my work. Here is a description of the piece: “A Prelude written during a time of uncertainty, and it reflects the idea of anxiety + release. However, the trio section is especially beautiful. I recommend listening to it while eating vanilla ice cream; it will enhance your experience.” 🍨🍯🎹 Let me know your thoughts in terms of harmony, melody and form. Score Thank you truly
  6. Any ideas where I could potentially collaborate with someone to add some kind of orchestration to these pieces? I'm only good with composing piano pieces I don't have much skill with musical software or adding multiple instruments
  7. Nocturne written by me, any and all feedback is appreciated
