Very random thing I made recently, not knowing what's going on actually... I strived for something between instrumental and ambient/free form. I used very low piano keys on purpose, just to make it clear - restricting yourself to only middle range makes everything too crowded and not very imaginative. Plus, I love low pitches, so deal with it! I'm extremely worried about the transitions between different musical ideas. A casual track for sipping warm tea in a cold, snowy day, I guess. Thank you for listening!

This is my first sonata, it has two movements. In first, I played with the esthetic of minimalism, and in the second I clashed few different styles in rondo-like form to get some comic but still captivating effect. Feel free to give any comment, advice, suggestion :)

Hi guys, I'm the self taught musician from this previous post : I just worked on this new composition - and I got also inspired by some of your feedback from that previous post. As I have no theoretical knowledge whatsoever about composition and learned playing by ear, I try to follow your comments that get quickly technical for me sometimes :) Your feedback would be highly appreciated!

I didn't enter the last great competition, but I began to write this piece thinking of it. Now that the competition is over, I'd like to bring it here. It was funny mixing atonal, tonal and contemporary languages. The are two scores. They are the same, but one of them includes notes about the series or chords used in every variation. There are also two files with notes (in English and in Spanish). Greetings!

Hi everyone, first post here. I'm Nizar, I learned to play piano (on a synthesizer) empirically and only by ear through the years. I never took a lesson nor studied anything related to music or composition, so I'm quite ignorant about many aspects. However, I really enjoy the act of creation in music. I never thought of entering a composers' forum, so here I am. I'm extremely curious to get your feedback, it will be much appreciated, starting with this piece : Thank you! Nizar PS : I use Reaper and Kontakt for recording, as Virtual Instruments are 100x better and more realistic than my synthesizer. PS2 : I just bought a Kawai "stage piano" (ES8) last weekend, so the experience of playing is radically different and my inspiration is sky-rocketing :)

With this I used a lot of the new software I've purchased from 8dio, except the cinema trailer sound effects which were bought seperately. I'm still pretty new to all of this new software and sounds so this more experimental if anything. There are literally thousands of sounds with these new software bundles and the ones here are just a few out of the thousands of others. This makes me really excited about the possibilities. Simple chord progression etc. Hope it sounds ok...

Hi everyone, This is a piece that I was asked to write as a member of NMSW Young Composer's Academy. What do you lot think?

I composed this little rondo for solo piano. It has intentionally simplistic harmony and starts quietly and plainly, but by the end it's fiery and dramatic. It is in the form A-B-A-C-A-Coda.

Hello all, I am posting today with my first complete piece for piano, a series of three variations on three themes for piano, of which this piece (I. Allegro moderato in E minor) is the first. The second two movements (II. Vivace; and III. Adagio) are still being written, but I figured it would be best to release this piece first to the public to see what kind of reception it got and what people thought of it. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hello - I'm back, with four very short piano pieces for your enjoyment and valued criticism! It's been a very sad year, but emotion is at the core of creativity ! The first piece is dedicated to my grandparents both of whom we lost this Autumn. Currently in the works is a piece for woodwind and timpani, which is intended to depict a battle, but we'll see how that goes... Dan

you can listen my piece here --- Snowy Christmas in Colorful Bells Composed and arranged this sound from fragments of melody Jingle Bell & Deck the Hall carols. I wrote the score and intended to play and record it on piano only, but due to lack of tools for recording I couldn't make it with quallity, so my brother helped me arranging it with program and I added bells and claps. Please tell me your review and feel free to listen.

Eleven Piano Variations on Elgar's Violoncello Concerto's First Movement's Theme.mp3 This is my 3rd set of variations for solo piano. I composed it as my entry in the YC Fall competition. The theme is Elgar's Violoncello Concerto's (Op. 95), first movement's first theme. I chose this theme because it was the first to come to my mind when I was thinking about what theme to choose. I chose it also because it is very memorable, reflective, and sad. I consider it to be one of the greatest themes ever composed. I chose the piano as the instrument to compose for, because Elgar had already done a great job with the violoncello and strings in the treatment of this theme. So I decided to take the opposite approach and treat it with a keyboard instrument instead. I also had composed two of my previous sets of variations for piano. So the piano was a natural choice. This is the link to the theme on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Xg7JZcyIk&t=1m17s

Here is my entry for the Fall 2016 Competition, a set of 10 variations on the well-known simple theme "Happy Birthday." Though I suspect everyone knows this theme, in case you don't here's a link to a version of it. Just listen to the first 25 seconds or so for the basic theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVEmrAilqj8 Thanks for listening and best of luck to all the other entrants!

Since I have the pleasure of being a judge for the theme and variations Fall Competition I thought I'd share with you my own set of variations. This is a set of 17 variations on a theme of Scriabin for piano. I composed this piece off and on for over 8 years. It's a very dark and expressive piece of music. Shakespeare's Macbeth was on my mind during it's composition. I hope you enjoy it.

This piece represents the night and its atmosphere of unknowing and worry.

A short piece I put together for viola and piano. I started with the theme I had at the begging and then developed it as I had ideas on what would be fun/interesting. I do like some of the ideas and may expand upon it, but I do like it as it is, a short showpiece of sorts with lots of variation in dynamic and tempo. Please excuse the failure's of my program's audio rendering regarding certain things. I am still very inexperienced at composing for the piano though, so advice especially in regards to that is much appreciated. Sonatina_for_Viola_and_Piano.pdf Sonata_for_Viola_and_Piano.mp3

Before presenting my submission to the Contest I post here a little piece that shares the dedication to Rossini with the Variations. Here I don't quote any theme, and I refer mostly to the Rossini author of keyboard music.

In celebration of the Fall Competition (which I have no entry for), I have decided to post this old piece. It was originally intended as the third movement of a piano sonata, but I didn't feel like it was good enough to include, so I got rid of it. I consider it a failed attempt at a set of variations on an original theme. There was originally meant to be 7 variations, five based on baroque dances, a fugue, and a chorale. Only the theme, three dances, and the chorale were ever completed. I stopped writing after that because I lost interest in the theme I was working with, and wasn't really satisfied with what I had done so far. I'd like to think that I learned something through working on it, even though I don't really like the end result.
