Monarcheon Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hey so this piece is really dumb but I really like it for some reason. Enjoy!

luderart Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I enjoyed it. It is a nice variation from "Three Blind Mice" that makes you forget the original and its simplicity by the end, ending on a more serious note. The use of pedals, especially towards the end also was a nice touch, adding gravity to the piece to contrast with the simple and light-hearted (or "dumb", as you have rather harshly characterized it) beginning. I think it is this great contrast that is the greatest merit of this piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyfry Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hmm... I assume you were somewhat setting out to do something like a contemporary equivalent to Mozart's Variations on "Ah, vous dirai-je Maman". I actually quite like it too. It goes into some pretty dark places to be based on a nursery rhyme. It could even be expanded into a full set of variations, I think, if you ever wanted to do such a thing. I have to say, if you set out to write a piece everyday, and this is one of the "dumb" results, then that is something to be proud of.

Monarcheon Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Well, I thank both of your for your comments. I might do that, but I thought the source material was a little too immature or faulty to really do something with it, but we shall see. I just think it's dumb simply because of the unnecessarily dark takes on the nursery rhyme, but I still do like it! :) Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
