October 19, 20196 yr Pieces for Pianoforte Op. 21 No 2 - Pastorale This is the 2nd piece of a collection of piano pieces I am slowly writing. The 1st piece, I wrote many years back. I only now finally found the motivation to write for the 2nd. Let me know what you think. This is a digital rendering using MuseScore3.
October 19, 20196 yr I like it. Pentatonic makes the coloring of the piece some exotic. The most interesting as for me was the transitions between 4/4 and 6/8. You excellent have done them. These measures are very different and it is difficult to connect such unsimilar parts. Edited October 19, 20196 yr by Alexx
October 25, 20196 yr It's fantastic, I love it. I don't see the use of 2/2 and cut time. Usually this is used in faster tempos. Or a strong pulse + a weaker one....

October 26, 20196 yr Maybe 4/4 would fit better to the Andante? Same notes, same measures, just the beat is on the quarter note. I mean, you essentially wrote it in 4/4 and then put in the wrong time signature. Other than the time signature issue, I like the piece. You transition so well into the 6/8. And is it in G sharp minor? It is very pretty and dreamy. G sharp minor is such a rare key for me to hear, rarer than F# major or even Ab minor, which themselves are rare keys.
October 26, 20196 yr Author @caters Thanks for the feedback! Okay I will look again into the time signature. And yes it is G sharp minor. Likewise it isnt a key i would normally listen to or write in either. xD
