Comedie in One Act!

Featured Replies

I need a name for this piece, as well as a little feedback.

It took me about two hours composing this because it was an comedy-improvising competition and my fellow classmates asked me to compose something funny and simple.

Yet, I want to give it a proper name. Can you give me a good one?

Comments are welcome.

PD.: I don't like how does it sound on MIDI. I prefer to play it on a real piano.

funny and effective! the rhythms are quite good. the current title is cool!

Awesome! Just awesome! I don't know why I like it so much, but this is the kind of piece I'm trying to compose. Maybe alter the alberti basses a bit, but apart from that, I really love it. :P

You may excuse my lack of knowledge, but I haven't heard about any "alberti" bass.

Can you tell me?

Alberti bass? Really? If you play piano you've probably played them if you've played any Mozart/Beethoven. Alberti bass is a left hand/right hand configuration of notes... In C it normally goes C-G-E-G. Bottom, top, middle, top. Then repeats. Trying out on the piano, it can go lots of places. That's why people like it... and it's a nice classical bottom drop to your piece.

On to this piece however...... I can't say I liked it alot. I mean... The opening theme was nice... But... That was it. That was the piece... It just got a little tedious I think. Just the constant staccato notes get tiring... and each variation on the melody is repeated twice, then changes... It's sounded like a jazzy metronome. XD! The comedy title is fitting, as it is kind of jivey and edgy, but I really think you could've made some more outta the themes here... Instead of just the bottom being constant alberti and the top being little differences in staccato melodies. This sounds more like a theme in a sonata or something... Also, the hollow octave differences were a little strange... Maybe try some different counterpoints than just steady hollow octaves!
