Piano Sonata in C

piano sonata in C

every suggestion is appreciated,

thanks!

Prelude-mvt1.mid

rondo allegro-mvt2.mid

adagio-mvt3.mid

OK, what can I say? The Prelude and the Rondo-Allegro suck but the Adagio is AMAZING! Did the same composer write it? Because it's SO much better! All your harmonies are faulty and poorly made in the faster movements, but the Adagio is a pleasure to listen to.

I found it to be worst in the Rondo-Allegro: the harmony in the left doesn't match with the melody in the right hand. You don't break down chords the way they should be. Just stick to the chords and don't go around making stuff up.

I must say I agree with M is D. The Prelude sounds like something I have heard before but can't put a name on, all of my piano books are at my friend's house or I would look it up. It is too dissonant and the harmonies are not good. As M is D said, work on the chords a little because most of this does not make sense. The rondo: the theme is weak and it has the same problems as the others: weak, poor harmonies. The part around 1:20 was kinda cool though. The adagio was definitely the best one, but same story.

I will leave a comment on each of the 3 movements

On the Prelude

dude, you totally plagarised Bach's Prelude in C from the Well Tempered Klavier, seriously, that was terrible, I suggest using an idea of your own next. The Harmonic ideas are parallel of his in the right hand, and the left hand is terrible, you probably should have just let that piece slide without posting it.

On the Rondo Allegro

Ok, this was not as bad in terms of plagarism, you pretty much copy one idea from the first of Clementi's Sonatinas and do some ok things with it. In my opinion, again, try to use an idea of your own instead of copying other composers, that's just lazy. I also would suggest researching a way to strengthen your melodies and harmonies and such, because in this piece, they are quite weak.

On the Adagio

Again, this sounds incredibly familiar. But I would have to agree with the other two commentators that the piece is FAR better than the previous two movements. Enjoyable to listen too, although I found it was lacking alot in terms of harmonic variety, and that the melody seemed weak alot of the time throughout. But this piece is far better than the previous two.

Sorry to be so brutal, but that's my honest opinion

Will K

Very nice! I enjoyed it. My only problem is that the first movement sounds to much like Bach's first prelude from the well-tempered clavier. And isn't the slower movement supposed to be the second? I could be completely wrong but whatever.

Nico, you have such great opinions.

I agree whole heartedly.

Yes. Blunt, but true :happytears:

im afraid i agree with the previous commenters on the prelude.

I actually liked the rondo allegro a bit but it dragged on a bit and was a bit repetetive in place. There were some very cool ideas though. The trills sounded way too fast and very artificial to me, try slowing the trills down slightly.

I agree with everyone that the adigio is by far the best movement. You seem to have put much more thought and effort into the harminies on this movement.

I mean if you're gonna steal something, give the composer some respect and don't make it worse. Like...sorry, thats my honest opinion.

a blunt and honest criticism is not telling everything we're thinkging about it but without minimum knowledge about the subject...

anyway thanks anyone

Actually it is, and he knows alot about music

  • Author

oh yes he knows alot!!!!!!!!!!! *lol*

actually he does, I don't think I need to defend him, Canzano can do that on his own.

I have so heard ths third movement somewhere. A true [Ctrl+C] and [Ctrl+V]:)

meaning you stole it from someone, watch out with that dude. It won't be pleasant next time you do it.

And for the composer to the third movement, I must say it is rather nice :P

what did u mean about "SOMEWHERE" ?

where did u hear my piece ?

I found the music to be enjoyable. You have potential with composing. Don't heed the negative remarks from the other bitter composers on this website with too much weight. They never like anything but their own music, and also usually reject everything by default unless it doesn't threaten their own writing.

Nice job!

Wait for 2 seconds pal. I happen to like Nico's music, J Lee's. And a few others here. You really shouldn't accuse others of wrongdoing simply because you don't agree. If I were to say anything about you, I'd say you don't seem to know plagarism when you hear it. Too much weight? Sounds like you were describing yourself. You obviously know nothing about reviews, Review's and comments are supposed to be honest opinions and honest criticism. You can't water everything down and tell them that what they're doing is fantastic. On the other hand, it's a better idea to be honest and offer constructive criticism. When I first came to the site, I got bashed numerous times. Why? Because I was still learning, but I didn't really care, I learned from what they told me, what they didn't like. And made it better.

Whoops was away a bit :P Missed the "Fun" part :P

Well yeah, Will thanks for well, saying what I had meant to say :P

Anyway... I've read the other posts and I do agree with Will to the hundreth 100%.

Reviewing should be honest. If you don't like it, say you don't There are of course many ways to say it, but the main thing is to be honest. Like now, I WAS honest. I thought it was taken, and strangley enough many others thought it too.

Well yeah, Will thanks for well, saying what I had meant to say :P

No problem Sai :P

Anyway... I've read the other posts and I do agree with Will to the hundreth 100%.

Glad we agree
