A short trumpet peice

Featured Replies

Since no one listens to anything but Midi on here, I decided to make a midi song!

1. Techniques used

My ears.

2. How long it took to compose the piece

7-8 Minutes.

3. Structure of your piece

The only structure I can think of is I have one trumpet going back an fourth from A to C. Everything else is just moving around those two notes.

4. Obstacles when composing

There were none, this one came out pretty nice.

5. Summary of overall piece

I would love to hear real musicians play this.

Telling that you have composed this in 7-8 minutes beforehand, just makes ridicule of yourself and tells much about the quality of the music that one is about to hear.

As expected, this does sound like written in 7-8 minutes. The music is short, there is obviously no time for development. Thus makin your theme nothing more than a bunch of notes (its funny you admit this) put one afther another, as you said "back an fourth from A to C"

if this is just a study, or oppening of a larger piece then my judgments are partially wrong. If this is the case, let us know.

Otherwise, I dont want to sound discouraging, but, it only helps to hear the truth..

I'm not going to lie and say it took me a day to write this piece... because it didn

I did listen to your composition couple of times indeed, and I posted my personal thoughts on it. Dont get so angry with it. If you will, dont post it. Because this is where other people write their thoughts about your piece. And that was my thought !

Also, I never said you should lie and tell it took you longer, or hide the simple secrets. Thats not what I meant. I was just making a simple point: Give more time to composing, explore more...

I was just trying to encourage you to come up with something better. Thats all.

Sorry sorry, I didn't mean to lash back at you! I did take your comments into concideration and I thank you for them. By giving more time to composing, is that what you meant by devolpment and theme? Because I think I have a vague understanding of development; and I really don't know what theme is. When I think of theme I think of film or a play... not music.
