Piano Impromptu No. 1 in D-Minor

Been hard at work the last few days writing this piece with little to no sleep. It's in sonata form but much of the piece is improvisational in nature. I may write a few more pieces/movements at a later time and publish as a impromptu/sonata set but for now I like the piece on its own.

I hope you all enjoy it.

I like it. Is your MP3 a live recording? even better.

Looking at the score... It is okay to change keys.

Well I do like your writing style a lot, but i have to agree with royhoobler you should try to change keys somewhere in there so it brings something new to listener and they feel pleased. Also a thing that I would like to hear out of you cause you do such great development maybe expand those sections because I think you can get a lot more out of this. But, again very nice piece

Understand where you're coming from royhoobler and fegane, the D-Minor theme can be a little repetitive. I'm self-taught and that's my second piece for piano so I'm getting better as time progresses. Look for more development and motifs in the pieces to come. Thanks for listening!

I love it. Very nice melodies and smooth flowing transitions. I will have to jump on the bandwagon and say that the main melody does get repetetive, but hey, considering this is only your second piece for piano, I think it's amazing. Awesome work!

It's wonderful!!

And trust me when I tell you that I don't say this very often... :)

It's beautifully flowing, and contains lovely melodies & Ideas. I'd love to listen to your future stuff, because you're composition is awesome!

The main theme is a little repetetive at times, but I loved it enough to not care... :D

Great job!!! :thumbsup:

By the way, you could make it sound a little less repetetive by playing the main theme piano somtimes, and not always forte.

The comments I read so far nearly all said the same: the melody is repetitive. Why should this be a problem? Judging by my record on comments here on this site, one could say I do not comment much and very rarely have said pieces are good. From your impromptu I would very much like to have the score. I have tried to print it, but got blank pages.

Your idea to add other pieces as to build an impromptu/sonate is something I would not advice. Furthermore, you could consider it a prelude, to which you could add other preludes to get a booklet. I would leave it the way it is, as a seperate piece.

In short: feeling quite favourite toward your composition, I might consider it to play as an encore, but will PM you with further details regarding.
