June 4, 20187 yr Just a short background: Arpeggia is the title of a piece I composed way back 2010 when I was still new to composing. In fact, this Arpeggia in A minor was the first piano composition I shared in this forum in March, 2010. The original post was actually still in the archives of this site, but I can no longer access the music file. Anyway, fast forward 8 years later, I decided to revisit the piece and edit it to a more "playable" form; but my edits are very minor because I want to preserve as much of the original version possible. So here it is, Arpeggia in A minor. Perhaps I derived the title from the word arpeggio, and I could still remember how fascinated I was with arpeggios at the time this was composed. Hope you guys enjoy one of my first compositions! I also wanna know your thoughts on my old style of composing (I believe my style has changed through the years. This was almost completely different from my latest ones haha!) 😁
June 4, 20187 yr Cute! Well composed, well notated in general. Not much I can think to offer in the way of advice except thanks for posting it (again? 🙂 )! Gustav Johnson
June 5, 20187 yr Very nice, I think the only thing I might do is to give it a little rubato, perhaps this is more to do with the playback as I'm sure a pianist would probably give it the space it needs to breath here and there, but I liked it. kind regards mark
June 5, 20187 yr I could see a pianist with good stage presence getting a roar of approval from the audience at the end from this one. Very fun!
June 6, 20187 yr Author I remember when I was writing this piece, I was obsessed with arpeggios and works of Beethoven. Actually I can't believe I've written something like this, among the few ones I made when I was still new to composing. Haha! This has been one of my major compositions that really defined my composition style way back--- after listening to this for a while, I realized my style has changed since late 2011 when I heard of Liszt's works. I'll try to dig in to my files and see what other "old" pieces I may share in this forum. Thanks for the comments!
