"Caffeine Scherzo" for Violin and Piano

Featured Replies

Wow, this was really good! I really don't have much to say, except in some parts (such as the parts with the pedal open D and the melody in the A string) I would have added a "leggiero a la position' marking to make sure the violinist shifted and didn't go onto the E string. Unless you want to make the violinist play on three or four different strings at the last run, you might want to put a marking there too at the third sixteenth note; "sul E".

Edit; Oh yeah and a couple of collisions in the score, but those are just very minor problems in the score, not elaborations on the composer's intentions.

In conclusion, great work! You used the tone colors of the violin nicely.

Wow, very energetic. I'm reminded of the flight of the bumblebee. Nice work, and I'll be saying goodbye to my left fingers :happy:

What Paranoid said: seconded :lol:

This thing is friggin' FRANTIC. I think my blood pressure nearly shot through the roof! (And hyper-tension runs in my family, so thanks a lot, mister :sleep:)

This would be a lot of fun to see played, even more so than it is to hear it.

This is a great piece, but the way it's set up, I wish that the piano would "take the violin's place", so to speak, at times. What I mean by this, is that the piano is support, while the violin is the show-off instrument. Some contrast could be given to the viewer by allowing the violin to take the foreground with simple, sustained half or whole notes, while the pianist is allowed to attack that keyboard in awesome fassion.

Thanks for sharing, this was exceptionally fun :D I'll give it a 10/10, and favorite it!

Brilliant mate. I really like your fast, crazy music. More please! :D

That is brilliant! My only comment is put a crescendo from measure 40 through the 1st ending for more contrast when you decrescendo in the 2nd ending. Also, you might want to start mf instead of f, depending on how loud you want it to get. But, the crescendo would definitely add to your effect of rising tension during that segment.

10/10!

Haha this is great!! Love it - excellent job!!

Impressive! it shows you got the partience to write something very very fast, and the structure, musicallity to make it worth listening to.

Very much like wieniawski scherzo tarantella, paganini: moto perpetuo and a little like sindings suite in a minor, the superfast fiolin part XD.

Impressive things you do.

Im sure you would fit just right in with the composers in the high-era of romanticism!! good job, and outstanding talent as usual!

Reminds me of Czardas. Without the, *ahem* 'meno' sections.

Nicely done. Thanks for sharing, definitely worth the perfect rating it's got at this point.

WOW! That was great! Sounds like Charlie Daniels playing classical! I always love the violin/piano duet and to hear them in such a fast paced peace is great!

Extremely enjoyable. It sounds very Eastern-European/Jewish. I just wanna dance to it! Bars 45-49 - bravo, inventive :)
