Hello

This is a style I haven't tried much

What do people think?

I enjoy this! I find the opening section fluent like Schbuert's Moment Musical in C sharp minor or even Bach like. The change to a waltz in the middle section is good for me, though the accents in the computer rendition are too heavy for me. The ending is good as well.

I have not heard your previous works. What is your typical style?

I didn't actually have Schubert in mind when writing this and my influence was more Bach.

My typical style is a combination of Baroque and Neo-Romantic styles

Yeah I find that particular moment musical quite Bach like, combined with romantic touches:

I see that you have a Symphony in C# minor. I will check that out when I have time! I love everything in C# minor.

You know I always don't like my old works, at least unappreciative to them. I always find in them things bad and so many aspects to improve. It's not that I love my current work more but at least I am more confident in them.

But those are really necessary evils. Knowing that our works have rooms to improve is already an improvement of judgement and taste. And I haven't listened to that yet! You won't be sure whether I love it or not! I am usually appreciative to people's works except mine. If that seems really bad I can at least have something constructive to say!

One way to improve is to listen to other composers' works here. You will find  different approaches and styles, even though they may be utterly different from yours. You may give suggestions to others and receive feedback from others. This kind of mutual review and encouragement will definitely help you grow as a composer!

I like this piece.  There's variation and playfulness in it.  Like when you bring back the material from the beginning but in 3/4 in the final section that closes the piece.  I think the waltz accompaniment (left hand) could have been brought up an octave to give the dance a lighter character instead of the heaviness it currently has with the very low bass notes and the pah-pahs in also a somewhat low range.  Even despite the more than an octave distance between the oom's and the pah-pahs it still sounds muddy.  The melody in measures 48 - 55 have a really neat inner melody being passed between the left and right hands!  That's a pretty cool technique!  For my own personal taste I would have included another extra chord at the end after the last chord you have.  The chord you have doesn't sound very final but from my own experience even weird harmonies can be made to sound final if other aspects of the music suggest it (such as a ritardando to the end).  But I would keep the low A as the bass note even for the final chord since you established it so strongly in the previous measures.  Thanks for sharing!

Hey there, cool piece. 

The transition at bar 30 was very abrupt. I didn't care much for it, maybe some sort of smoother transition would make this more practical, but it's the most negative thing I have to say. 

Cool vibes I get from this. I kind of like the against the grain counterpoint employed in this, with an almost dissonant way of using the right and left hand notes together. I think it would sound better without all the accents on the 1 in the left hand, with a more flowing texture, but eh that's just me. 

Nice little miniature you have here. You'll find more feedback (if that's your goal of course) if you poke around in the forums and add a bit of your input here and there. You may find friendships too, rather than pixels confirming whatever reason you're posting here for. 

Thanks for sharing, I must have missed this one! Hoping to hear back from you as far as your thoughts moving forward.
