Harpsichord piece

Hello, I recently did this piece (when I should have been revising for exams, to be exact :D ) and would like to know what people think of it :D I didn't really have any plan except to write something joyful and dancey in some sort of old style.

Keyboard songs aren't my strong point and I haven't spent a great deal of time on it anyway so I welcome all criticism with open arms. Oh and if you could think of a name for it that'd be super :mellow: Cheers!

You know this piece was different than anything I have ever heard, but it was great.

Well, maybe a video game, but its catchie.

Really it was finely contructed and very fun to listen to. (will listen again)

When it comes to what to name it, being it's on a harpsichord, perhaps you could go through

the old french dances and relate your tempo and time signature and give it one of those dance names.

Like Courante, Allemande (Whichever it fits) or something.

Good work! :mellow:

Very Creative.

Good idea about the name, I'll have a look at that. Thanks buddy :)

I really like it, I wish I could hear it on a real harpsichord

I really enjoyed your piece! I think you can call it a musette. Its theme is somewhat couperin-ish and you've got some interesting (and amusing) jazzy touches in the episodes, which would probably make it a bal-musette in the style of the 1930's-40's! For 3-4 measures you're out of range (right hand, I don't remember the highest note of the harpsichord right now, but I don't think it's f4!). Some octave displacements in the bass area would also make it sound even better.

Anyway, you could also have it arranged for accordion, putting some glissandi there, it would sound great, too (not midi, however!)
