June 18, 20241 yr I have recently started writing some solo Flute pieces, that make use of more "modern" harmonic ideas. He is the second one of the set that I names Soliloquy No. 2. Any feedback is welcomed!
June 22, 20241 yr Hi @Guardian25! For a piece that stays in A minor pentatonic the whole time it didn't bore me! If you really wanted to include some more "modern" harmonic ideas, I think you could have used a larger variety of modes and changes in mode and chromaticism. Also, I believe it was only in the classical and baroque period where the appoggiatura ornament was used the way you have it here. Nowadays composers usually just write out the notes instead of notating it as an ornament. But I like this piece because it sustains a homogeneous mood throughout. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for listening! I guess when I say "modern" I meant harmonies that were not based around the Major/Minor Tonal system. In some of the other pieces, I composed using Whole Tone Scales ideas for a more "modern" feel!
