Dreaming about a Dream

ah, whatever, at least i wrote something, as always, comments, suggestions, criticisms, personal attacks, etc, are all welcomed.

Add some ornaments, make it a little more interesting.

I always say the simpler the merrier, but, in this case, you need less broken chords at the beggining and at the last part, some more acciaccaturas (maybe) and etcetera.

I feel the "finale" sounds incomplete. Define it a little bit more to give it a feel of tranquility, because this is a calming piece and the "incomplete ending feeling" creates some tension when people try to mentally guess the final chord. If you don't want to modify it, add a ritardando at least.

Intriguing (not interesting), calming, simple, elegant.

Work a little bit more on this and it's going to be remembered by all who those graceful people (named "audience") that have the pleasure to hear this piece.

Cheers!

what a piece of crap this is, I do not like it at all. Maybe you should quit writing piano music.

Well, now. I'm usually the one giving completely scraggy criqtiques and just say the piece is sucky. But this?! I cannot tolerat that you think your music is bad. I mean, in every persons life. They are bad at what they do, but the aim is to improve. So instead of just feeling scrafty that you compose bad, put yourself together. Read scores, listen to music, improvise, experiment etc. Just go on improving! Instead of dillydalling and reviewing your on piece and giving it alot of scraggy.

Anyway, to the song. Yes, it is thin. Feelss rather bland, but calm. Why not spice is abit? Still have this feeling, but maybe make it more dreamy, whole tone scale? Contrast it with a nightmare, and then the main "Dreamy feeling" again. This piece is not over!

Well, being a pessimist and bashing yourself will never help you to write better music! You should focus on the music, not yourself.

Hard work always pays, so good luck! ;)

i don't know why i even started this thread. Every composition is suppose to be better than the one before, this is a step backwards, I shall burn the score, and start anew.

OK, stop being passive aggressive about the fact that you can't 'speak your mind' when reviewing others' works at YC. So perhaps you have thick skin. Good for you. But that doesn't mean everyone else can so easily stomach criticism the way you can. It is no mark of artistry to be able to take harsh criticism, and equally it is no mark of any positive quality that you can dish it out. Consider the people whose works you are reviewing, and maybe you'll see that a measure of kindness could be a very good thing.

What's up with you Trout? ;)

this is so much fun.

this is so much fun.

Berating yourself? what's the point? Your not making a statement against free speech. Your making the statement that you don't want anyone telling you anything that you don't like

i am just trying to say that I am my own toughest critic, i am not being passive aggressive, i am judging people "harshly" because i judge my works the harshest.

No, your just putting on a show to make it look that way, you'd never say this in a serious manner of your own works. Judging from your previous posts, you view your compositions higher than anything.

no i don't. I haven't posted much of my music before.

you said it yourself

I'll tell you a true story about me. I started writing music during my sophomore year in highschool. I still remember how happy, and excited i was when i composed my First ever work. I took it to school, and showed the score to my friends. The reception i got forever changed the course of my life as a composer. They absolutely humiliated me, they took my score and showed all my "mistakes" to the rest of the class without my approval, it was embarassing, it was the worst day of my life. But, ever since that incident, I vowed to write "correct" music, and in time, because that i always beared in my mind this humiliating event, I was able to write a very complex work months later. Again, I showed it to them, and they were speechless. IN YOUR FACE! I peformed the piece infront of everyone in the classroom, and got nothing but praises.

and that was the moment where my composition skills went to the next level, the moment that i was humiliated by them.

This is my story.

You were so proud of your composition that you didn't even consider the fact that they might like it. You were arrogant, and selfish, don't blame them, it's your fault that you were so angered by it

Your motivation is terrible, composing only to keep other people from making fun of you? That's not love, that's selfish ambition

I asked you the same question when you wrote it.

Well, MT was a composer friend, Marcus is a talented dude, but, like what you said, his motivations are somewhat twisted. But, he produces amazing music though, the end justifies the means i guess.

now you have two personalities?

you said in the post that it was a true story about you. That means YOU, not MT

i simply forgot the quotes. I can tell you more stories about Marcus, if you want to. He is quite a character.

i forgot the quotes.

You said it was a story about you, that means what you said. A story about you, not MT, you posted it as your reason for berating Morivou. You're not making sense.

great reasoning, except why would i sign off as "MT"? The only logical explanation is that I took this story from someone else.

My question exactly. Why would you?

so whatever i say is true, well, I am Stephen Colbert, do you believe me?

Nope, cause you can say anything you want online and get away with it

i don't have anymore time to waste on this meaningless issue.
