Samuel Francis 傅经鸿 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I have finally completed this piece - No. 3 of 'Pieces for Pianoforte' Op. 21 - after months of composer's block. I initially intended to write an upbeat piece in the key of C major that continues the East-meets-West theme (a Scandinavian halling dance with a Chinese-style tune). However, due to the development of recent global events, I have found myself sinking into short (but intense) episodes of despair. And so, I shelved that piece, finding myself unable to sincerely work on the piece. And I wrote this: a prelude in the key of A minor (ending on its parallel major, A major). Stay safe and healthy, guys! Take care! Attached: PDF score & MP3 rendition from MuseScore. YouTube link for live performance here. The YouTube video is accompanied with the score as well.

Bradley Scarff Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Very nice! the movement works really well and it's clear you have a distinct style. The only word I would suggest would maybe be have one or two flashy cadenza sequel runs towards the end. or perhaps a brief Presto section. which I feel could be done without sacrificing the content of the work. Obviously it is your piece. Look forward to hearing more music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
