Piano Solo in D Minor

Featured Replies

This is a song I wrote with my (very limited) piano experience.It sounds great, but it's very basic at the same time (i.e all chords in root position which means lots of parallel fifths probably >_<) but hopefully you all can appreciate it.

Please share your opinions. :]

Brilliant! Really nice to listen to! May I say, its very minimalist - I love the repetition, however it would be nice to hear that wonderful Minor 7th chord at bar 3 and several other places really come out.

Wonderful piece - I really love the simplicity of it - the general jumping chord idea is great. I think 6/8 seems a strange time signature for this piece - perhaps 3/4?

I might just try and perform it :)

Well done.

I'm not one hundred percent sure, but more about 99% sure it should be 6/8. People keep mentioning minimalist. I have no idea what the type of music is like and why my music may fall under it. Please elaborate?

There wasn't much of an attention-getter for me, so I really didn't make it through 30 seconds of this. I didn't like the chord progressions leading up to that first dotted quarters.

This piece really isn't that great at all, and I kinda suspected as much by your reference to it as a "song". I have no idea what you're doing with form..it seems like there's virtually no development of material, the piece isn't even in D minor to begin with, and the boredom and lack of interest which accompanied my listen almost made me turn it off. It's bland, repetitive, and annoying, especially towards those constantly banging unisons and perfect fifths in the bass that seems to plague this work. God this is horrendous, you really can do better...and your writing for the piano itself can improve as well.
