December 30, 20205 yr This is my Soliloquy for Piano No. 14. It is my entry to the YC Fall 2020 Competition "Metamorphosis" and based on the theme of Takashi Yoshimatsu's, "Waltz of Rainbow Colored Roses", the second of his three waltzes. I have used the theme as a starting point and accompanied it and continued it in my personal style and original way.
December 31, 20205 yr There are some good ideas in this like canonic imitation between the highest and lowest voices. You also extrapolate the theme a bit. It is however quite short and in the end you don't develop the theme enough to stand a chance of winning against the other pieces in the contest. Have you ever tried just brainstorming a bunch of ideas on paper regarding the theme without regard to instrumentation or range or how your ideas would connect? That approach was very effective for me when I composed my piece. That's just my approach though. Thanks for participating!
January 1, 20215 yr I like the ideas that are here, like what PaperComposer mentioned, the canonic imitation. It's definitely a nice piece, but it seems a bit stretched out (despite it's shortness). A bit short and not very eventful, but it is certainly enjoyable.
