Dimitrije005 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hi! I am a 12-year old boy that likes to compose music. This is my first string quartet. It is written for two violins, viola, and a violoncello. I hope you will like it. Feel free to leave your opinions in the comments - every feedback means a lot to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Hernández Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Nice music. The structure is a strong point, I think. Vertical structure (chords and parallel lines) predominate, which is normal when one is in the beginning. I mean, counterpoint is always welcome. The initial motif and its variants is interesting.The thick chords that appear several times (as in 1:30) are good and very contemporary. The ascending progression from 1:38 to 1:50 is the part I like less (is predictable). The ending is, perhapt, too classic for a work like this, which sounds modern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitrije005 Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 I am glad you liked it. This is my composition I worked most on so I am very happy that there is someone that thinks it sounds good. Also, thanks for your feedback. Writing the endings is sometimes problematic for me because I am not sure how to finish a piece, so I experimented a bit with this string quartet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I would suggest is less block chords and maybe to expand on the theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbival507 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Wow. That's super advanced for someone your age. I guess you're like @Some Guy That writes Music, super talented with years of music in the family and music education from a very young age. That's super impressive, and clearly not your first composition ever. There's one thing I think I should point out. A musical piece doesn't have to be poly-rhythmic, but here I feel that... there's one rhythm going on all the time. Again, it's a great work for someone your age, but I think that you should keep that in mind. Also it's important that you have a website, I only made myself a website recently when I realized how important that is. Publishing on Youtube, on this site, and I guess that on other sites, together with this website of yours, will surely get you very far. Good luck on your journey. P.S I think that there's too much triangle in here, but it reminds me of what I composed by the age of... I think 15. You have so much time to develop, use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so happy you find my work amazing and that you think I am super advanced for my age and super talented. I actually do not have years of music education and no one in my family is a musician so I am kind of a self-learner for music. Thanks for your nice feedback - I will try to use it to improve my work. I will surely use the time I have. Thank you so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
