My First Time Writing a Piano Piece

Featured Replies

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. okay now I'm fine. So I'm trying a 30 day trial at the EastWest sound libraries so my mission this month is to go out of my comfort zone and write music for instruments and styles I've never done before. First on the list is Piano. This piece is my piece for my first 3 days. The majority of it was figuring out how the !@#$ to use there stuff. And today I spat this piece out hoping it'd sound nice. Send thoughts, be tough on what you want (except fingering, I ignored that for this.) if you don't like it that means it could be better. don't let me think this is my best piece ever.

BTW the sound glitch is the recording. Since the instruments are such high quality it makes my poor computer lag.

It's still very choiry.

It's fine though, there are some piano pieces like this one,

but one can clearly see the choir background.

I want to listen again to give a better opinion but the audio's quality is terrible.

Why are you trying EastWest instruments out if you have such a bad computer?

I have one library of theirs and I barely use it because of how demanding it is.

My computer is almost five years old, and it can handle exporting an audio but the instruments take forever to load.

I wonder how you deal with that in a computer that can't handle exporting the tracks properly.

I'm proud of you for not giving up.

Sounds really nice! I was downloading the piece a couple of times before realizing that it's a glitch lol. 

This would make a great choir piece, more than a piano piece though. 

 

Yes, the noise is terrible.

Apart from that, it's nice. But let me say it's been written the way beginners (in composition for piano) do. All the piece is built in "vertical" chords.

Don't worry, everybody did it so in the beginning. Bit by bit you learn how to develop the polyphonic possibilities of the piano.
