Piano Ballade

Featured Replies

Hi, everyone

I would like to introduce to you my new composition. It is Ballade #2 for piano.

The composition was written in late romantic style. I tried to make it in classical traditions with clear music forms and simple, understandable melodies. I hope I accessed my goals at least partially.

Nice composition.

I think it would fit better in 6/8, or 6/4 (in most parts)

Until measurre 58 the rhythm remains constant with tuplets. Perhaps it's too much (for me, I would expect some variation).

The second part ir more erratic. I see a lot of contrary motion, which is good. This part becomes passionate....

In m. 160 it comes back to the fist part. Here it seems that the rhythm of both hands was different, not vertically parallel, which is what we heard before. I like it, too.

Thank you very much! Your review is very valuable for me.

 

When I wrote it I also thought to charge the measure 6/4, however at last I decided that 4/4 with tuplets will be better. I think in this measure the theme sounds freer. However I can mistaken, because authors most always hear what they wanted to write but not what they have done really.  😃
