sonata 1, movement 4

Here is the 4th movement of my 1st piano sonata, a rondo with a development section.

sonata 1, movement 4

Good work well done. Very Beethovenian again. I like the main theme - it is good and striking which it needs to be. Some interesting shifts of harmony from time to time.

Andrev,

I agree with Jaime, this is very Beethovenian. What I would like to see from you, and I hope you don't mind me stating this, is perhaps a more varied harmonic pallet in your next work. You have a nice grasp of melody and development - obviously. Let's see you explore more adventurous pastures with your melody. That said, if you've listened to my work, you should know I adore music rooted in the traditional aesthetic. So your piece here is right down my alley. Thanks for posting and feel free to comment on the works of others. Not only will it help lighten another composers craft... but it will also bring more listeners to your work.

Thanks! Beethoven is my big favorite, I can't deny this. I studied him a lot in his way of creating structures and development of the material. Making a lot out of almost nothing is what I find exciting, it's a way of working that feels good to me.

I tried out some different things in my second piano sonata, it's a little more closer to Brahms I think. But still very traditional in harmony and structure. I will post it later on. Of course I listen to other composers as well, I am always curious what everybody is writing. Thanks for the comment.

Very nice writing! The piece flows very well: it sounds kind of "angry", "distraught", even, (perhaps), and yet compelling...Yes, the reference to Beethoven is well deserved, I think ;)

Thanks for sharing! :D

Hi!

Thanks for listening to it, glad you like it. Beethoven's influence is so strong, I'm not sure it's possible to escape from him, but I like his music a lot so i am not even sure I want to! :phones:
