Ferrum Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Hello! Currently working on my first ever piano concerto. This is the first 8 minutes of the unfinished movement I.

PeterthePapercomPoser Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Full of ideas - there are certainly some impressive sounds in this! You've made some very intriguing and engaging passages in your piano figurations and orchestrations. The only thing I miss is a sense of thematic unity - your melodic ideas sound sometimes as if they are flowing out of your mind kinda in a haphazard and random way. It takes a while to get going to that point but you do introduce some long song-like melodies in this that are passed between the orchestra and piano. I wish you had posted a score but I guess I wouldn't either for an unfinished piece! I do hope you finish it in the future as I like the energy and many contrasting sections! The soft respite around the 7 minute mark is pretty cool - it's unexpected given all the energy in the rest of the piece. Nice job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do try my best to use and develop the same principal ideas and themes. Maybe I just disguised those ideas too well so it sounds random. It's only the introduction section leading up to the development, so I just tried to introduce the main themes and ideas. Thank you for the feedback!
