April 24, 201016 yr A short peice called "Printemps". I don't leave many dynamic markings, it should played in a relaxed way. Printemps
April 24, 201016 yr This reminds me of some of those pieces that I used to play in the "easy recital songs" book that I had when I used to play piano. This was very light-hearted and upbeat. I definitely liked this, although I wish it was more substantial.
April 24, 201016 yr It's a cute piece. Could use a bit more substance though. Keep expanding it, I'm curious how it'll turn out.
May 7, 201016 yr This reminds me of a silent-film type thing: I can see Charlie Chaplin doing something goofy to this music :lol: --I like the old-timey, charming feel of the piece: it lends a sort of quality to the piece that can't be manufactured, if you understand my meaning ;) --Sepharite is ultimately correct though: there's not a big amount of substance. But it's a nice enough dessert-style piece, because it's not long-winded or excessively drilling into your head the same basic thing for minutes upon minutes. All-in-all, I'll give it a 7/10 :cool: Thanks for sharing, and welcome to Young Composers! :D
August 19, 201016 yr Every person is going to think of "Le Sacre du..." when they see this title. At least that's what I thought. I don't know if you're going for a common practice sound, it seems like you are to me, although most of everything is similar motion, with some parallel and some oblique, but very little contrary motion, which isn't very contrapuntal, so it's unusual for a common practice style. On the other hand, this is in a clear binary dance form, which reaks of baroque/early classical. If you are going for common practice harmony, you might want to watch you voice leading, there's some parallel octaves and fifths, and other problems. Also you have a huge number of of 63 chords, which is ok, just a bit bizarre. If you're going for a more "contemporary" style (which I don't think you are), still try to be more conscious of voice leading, to get a consistent effect.
