6 Dances : my composition

Hello my dear composers. 

Here my latest composition .6 Dances for piano . I hope you like it

Hi again @Vasilis Michael!

I love this little set of waltzes!  And I like how you composed them to be played one after another.  They're both Chopinesque and perhaps Schubertian or Schumannesque too.  I love the chromaticism!  No. 5 is perhaps my favorite of the bunch with it's chromatically descending harmonies.  I wonder if you've ever tried your hand at a polonaise or mazurka?  But also, from what I've seen of your YouTube channel you consider yourself, like Chopin, a composer primarily for the piano.  Maybe you could explore composing some chamber works or even works for orchestra?  Thanks for sharing these gems!

Thank you so much for your wonderful words and your appreciation of my music.

Yes, I consider myself a composer mainly for the piano, although I truly love orchestral music, and especially chamber music. Chamber music is my favorite... I just don’t feel familiar enough with the other instruments, although I have written a divertimento for winds and two minuets for string quartet. For a first attempt, it was quite a respectable effort, and I would definitely like to continue and write music for more instruments—it’s just that, at this point in my life, I don’t have enough free time to achieve that.

I have also played Chopin’s mazurkas and polonaises in my repertoire, but I haven’t yet happened to compose something similar, although I would very much like to, and I thank you for pointing it out.
