Nocturne

This is a nocturne I composed a few weeks ago as part of my failed project of sonata. This pieces uses only the three notes of the fifth circle, sharpened, in various combinations.Inspired on the second movement of Bartok's Sonata for Piano and Ligeti's Musica Ricercata.I'm thinking seriosly in select this work for my application to the Musical Composition career at my university. So any criticism is encouraged and welcomed: You help is valious.Score coming soon!Greetings.

Nocturne

I think you was successful in atmospheric establishment in this piece. The left hand part (or, that part which I presume to be the left hand) does instill a strong sense of stability and coherancy within the music, though I do wonder more could be done with this at certain points (to me this feels rather monotonous, though this might be your intention).

It'd be nice to have a score to give more specific/elaborate criticism, particularly in regard to your dynamic markings (I think abit more could be done here).

I actually like the repeating and exercise around the same notes. You go out of your way, at least to me, to find a variety in these notes-playing on texture, octave, rhythm, and every other tool we have at our disposal other than pitch (just look at the rennaissance composers). Because of what you're shooting for, I don't quite know what I could offer in terms of improvement (especially without a score) but, to me at least, it's a fairly well done work.

Thanks of your replies. I'm currently working in the score presentation (I use lilypond to engrave the scores, is a bit difficult, but very satisfying).

Thingeh: Is the left hand, you are right. Yeah, i'm try to give a certain sensation of monotony, but also try to no abusing of this resource. I'm thinking in expand the register of the left hand too in a future correction.

prestidigilicius: Thanks for your words! I promise you I'll upload the score soon.

Greetings.

I really liked this piece. I believe you very much accomplished the mood you were going for. It almost feels like being in space. I got really into this piece, I felt like I was drifting out in the middle of nowhere. It was very dream-like. So, as far as emotional/spiritual content, this piece is a winner! (And isn't that what music is really all about?) So, I'd definitely say you accomplished the important part. There are a few technical things that I would personally change, even though it works the way it is. As you said, it is monotonous, which is part of the mood, but I think it is occasionally too much. I think, like you said, expanding the left hand register would greatly help the piece. Anyways, keep up the good work! Thanks for posting.

Thank you Alex.

I recent uploaded the score , so criticism is welcome

I like this, some nice ideas. However, I think you could of been a little more adventurous. I think you held yourself back a lot more than you really wanted to. Nice work, look forward to hearing more from you.

Very curious. With a very well expressed.

Congratulations.

Thanks Manam!
