Piano Sonata

Hi, I'm Bruno. I've been composing for about 1 year and am 14 years old. I have attached one of my compositions. It's a piano sonata. It doesn

Hi Bruno,

I'd be more than happy to take a look at your piece; would you mind uploading a score?

A Score would be wonderful! I will definitely look and give a review!

The music itself is very pretty and a bit incidental (not a bad thing). At a few points I thought I was just listening to the left hand/right hand alone. The score would be a great thing to check out. Chord progressions are standard, i, iv, V, vi. Don't be afraid to step outside of Dm's comfort zone, (relative major?); anyway, good job for 1 year of composition. As you keep writing, write a few more movements! Keep em' coming.

Catchy sonata, very incedental.

Would have liked to hear you elaborate more on the theme, but I thought this work was well done.

Hi,

It's great to have some feedback. I feel encoraged by your comments and I'm really pleased to have some ways that i could improve this. I'm going to do some more elaborate variations. I have also attached the finale file so that you can see the score. Piano Sonata.mus

Thanks for the feed back :)

This sonata like many other works on this site has secret potentials, but i will not reveal them, they are......

It's nice; a little gothic and quite pretty. But, 'fraid to say, I'm not really impressed...it sounds background music to an RPG. The writing is a bit boring (repetitive) and got a bit tiresome after awhile, especially with just 8th note ostinati/chords as well as the rather conventional harmonies and melodic ideas.

However, for one year of composing this is pretty good! Keep composing and growing; you got potential. :]

I'm gonna have to agree with what most people have said here and say that this sound very much like something in a game/movie. I love movie and game music, but very rarely do i get a soundtrack that I can listen to stand-alone as much as I can a concert piece. If this is just meant to be an instrumental piece not supporting a visual, I think you need to branch out a little more with this.

ps- I did in enjoy it though, I could hear it orchestrated Philip Glass-like. Choir, synth, and strings, mmmmm :p
