CalibriStandard Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Wrote a short piece in B minor, this time the theme wasn't from improvising. I just wrote this completely on the computer. Hopefully I didn't subconsciously use something from an existing piece...

DanJTitchener Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Catchy piece - I like it. 🙂 Quite modern in it's irregular phrasing which gave it a sense of momentum, but you balanced that with Classical / Romantic harmonies. I definitely think that catchy motif in the bass could be even more effective it was syncopated (e.g. I kept wanting that second note in the motif to arrive just before the beat it lands on.) I also think there's easily room for some more material in between the main theme. Also, you could vary that texture a little bit more as there, in my opinion. Great piece - well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Unexplained Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I think if you sped it up it would make a good transition in a larger piece. I like it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Szulc Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 This is a very short piece, so I think that the material you have so far works. The only thing I feel that makes this piece a bit "stale" is the fact that the ideas you are using are often too scalar, creating a general contrast that either the phrase is going up, or its going down. In other words, it doesn't have much of a contour, which imho, could be worked upon. Also, the back and fourth motion between some contrapunctal measures agains some very homofonic ones makes the whole thing sound a bit "hasty" to my ears. Its like you're swaying between different ideas without getting to the core of neither of them. As I said, as this is a very short piece it doesn't have much space for development altogether, so my feedback falls a bit flat, but that's what I felt while listening to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Santos Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Pretty good, but short! But there's no rules for duration so *CLAPS* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guillem82 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) It sounds cool, well done! it reminds me a bit of Arabesque from Burgmüller (probably for the minor key and the ascending/descenting fifth).
