Tortualex Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) The first 15 seconds reminds me a lot to happy birthday to you, did you use the same harmonic cadence but transposed to minor? is my ear that is bad or it starts in c minor and ends in d minor? I like a lot the harmonic desitions that you make, the waltz is pretty romantic and nostalgic. what midi violin do you use? it sounds very well, or is it a work of mastering and equalization?.

Guillem82 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I like the energy and the character of the piece, it has somehow a passionate Russian flavour. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, but I didn’t crated it thinking in that specific piece actually, a lot of music share the same progressions and chords, the melody makes the difference (and in this case of course the fact it is minor). It is the typical I-V-I-IV-V-I 🙂 regarding your second statement, it changes but it is to G, it is because I modulated using C minor as a pivot. This piece has more than one modulation. Good to know that you liked it. 🙂 I tried to add that nostalgic touch, specially in the use of higher notes. It sounds a bit more cold because of the chosen piano sound (VSL Bluethner), but I really wanted to use my new piano library lol I was inspired in folk and classical, I always get that inspiration (folk) when I use a violin, probably because I always select the articulation called Gypsy 😄 It is the Bohemian violin, totally recommended, it sounds inspiring and realistic.

Nice work! Thanks Guillem82 for listening and your appreciation. You are totally right, It was inspired in Russian folk too 🙂 specially in the violin section, and given the use of the harmonic minor in some places, it fits very good to my ears 🙂 thanks a lot 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
