Quinn St. Mark Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 G'day fellas, Happy belated Easter! I must have composed this tune at least two years ago, but decided to rework it a bit. I'm not overly fond of it, I will admit but believe that it has the most distinctly Australian feel out of everything I have ever written. You might also notice some ragtime influence in it, too. I'm considering writing a middle section as well, and hence making the piece into a ternary form. Yay or nay?

Luis Hernández Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 It is very good. It has that "French" flavour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatguy v2.0 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Very fun music! A lyrical middle section would be cool, but I would continue to develop what you have and flesh out this main material. Looking forward to the updates, keep writing 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panta rei Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 This is very good, I like it. But it is a bit too short. You should definitely expand it (An ABA format could be suitable). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Hey @Quinn St. Mark, It’s definitely humorous and light hearted music! I love those glissandos and funny chords, plus the fleeing rhythms.

But before that I feel this section alone can be developed for at least twice longer! Like this section alone it can be a small ABA with the middle B section in F major or some close keys, and then the middle section can be in Gb major in a contrasting mood which is less lighthearted for example. I think of the piece named “The Fountain” by Carl Bohm when I learn piano as a young teen and I think you can have that piece’s structure! Thx for sharing!

Quinn St. Mark Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Cheers, @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu! That means a lot. I suppose ever since the Etude in G minor tempo variation has always been one of the things at the front of my mind! I admit I've never heard of that piece by Bohm that you mentioned before, and after listening to it, I see this piece potentially following a similar pattern. Thanks again!
