May 11, 200620 yr Hello, this is a short sonata I wrote as a gift. It is four movements. 1. Techniques used It is classical in structure. It makes use of tonal harmony. 2. How long it took to compose the piece About a week. 3. Structure of your piece Movement 1= Sonata form Movement 2= Binary with a little rounding Movement 3= Compound binary Movement 4= Variations 4. Obstacles when composing Lack of experience with composing classical works. Time constraints. 5. Summary of overall piece It is what it is.

May 12, 200620 yr Very Pleasant Piece. The only criticism I have is that you may want to use pedaling in movement 2, and sometimes the left hand part masks the melody. Other than that I liked it. Before listening to movement 4, Mvmts 1-3 had an overall happy tone. Then I notices that movement 4 is the birthday song ,cute. PS: What composition suite did you use to make the suite? If it cannot create MP3s then I can create MP3s for you. PM me if interested. Cheers.
May 12, 200620 yr Rather good. You should work more in this style. Quite convincing, for not having much experience in the style. Some very good ideas in there. In the second movement, you should make the left hand quieter, and consider varying the figuration a bit - it's a bit repetitive. Also, the second movement could be expanded upon - all of the movements could actually.
