MedwedianPresident Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) https://soundcloud.com/user-777001654/work-in-progress I'm new to composing. Please criticize this short piano piece. How can I make it better and expand it? Edited October 7, 2019 by MedwedianPresident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbival507 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 @MedwedianPresident I'm not sure that I can be that much of a help but I'll try. First off- you composed a piece! Great! You took your first step to begin with. Hooray. About the piece itself- it seems like you present an interesting idea at the beginning... and never come back to it. The only thing I saw repeating was the triplet in the chord. Maybe you should revisit this one, give the listener a "hey, do you remember this?" Other than that, you might want to try different accompaniments other than a simple chord (try more special chords, try walking base, try counterpoints[secondary voices]). About making the piece longer... other than revisiting your first idea you can try and develop the piece regarding to a story or a line. For example my new piece is built according to this "beautiful" initial sketch: It's not much but it's way easier to compose a piece when you have a line to follow. Wish you good luck!

Monarcheon Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 The opening is very hard to discern what's going on rhythmically; it also differs so much from the rest of the piece, that making some sort of reference to it in the later sections always does help.
