January 4, 201115 yr This is a solo piano piece I wrote pretty quickly, so the form/structure seems a little sporadic. Any advice on specific notational things to the overall form and structure of the piece would be greatly appreciated! I was thinking of making some sections a bit slower, but overall the piece is intended to be somewhat episodic and 'fantasy-like'. El Otro Lado
January 4, 201115 yr Wow... really, WOW! I liked this very very much. Especially your harmonic language. Very interesting harmonies and progressions.The form was ideal too. Development superb. So, 10/10 from me. The only critique I might have is that personally for me the ending didn't work quite well... I can't say what exactly, but I expected something else... Listening to your piece for the 3rd time now... awesome work
January 5, 201115 yr I was reminded of film music from the get-go, especially when you had one hand play a scale run - a bit like the flutes would in the orchestra. I was also reminded of minimalism - the constant driving rhythms and the complementary note values. There's not much to criticise here; I appreciated it very much, though I would have had the ending be on an F rather than a D.
January 5, 201115 yr Author Thanks so much for the feedback! The ending is definitely something I been thinking about with this piece, sometimes I really like it and it just feels really calming after all the chaos, other times something about it is anti-climactic (like said LordNemrod-seems to be not what's expected/came out of nowhere). I'll sleep on it ParanoidFreak-Definitely a minimalistic influence...the section starting at m. 118 thinking back is just like John Adams piano music.
