PeterthePapercomPoser Posted December 28, 2025 Posted December 28, 2025 I started this piece this morning and managed to finish it this evening! My inspiration was to write a fast Christmas piece as my pieces lately have all veered towards the same slow tempo. The form of the Scherzo is ternary and the overall form is Scherzo - Trio - Scherzo. Thanks for listening and I'd appreciate any of your comments, suggestions, critiques or observations!

chopin Posted December 28, 2025 Posted December 28, 2025 Very fun to listen to. Something like this would need an explanation, or a scene so we can get the context behind the Christmas spirit. But I love the bass, it helps create that mischievous tone. The A section of your ABA format could be the antagonist. And the B section (the slower part), maybe is a call to the protagonist. There's a lot of information in this short piece, but the ABA structure helps keep things logical. 2 Quote
Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted December 28, 2025 Posted December 28, 2025 Finally not a mash-up or a casting! I like this haha. I like how the Eb major is revealed at the end of the Scherzo, just like a wrapped present. I wish I have your recent productivity lol. Maybe I myself need Suno to create tons of masterpieces lololol. Henry 1 Quote
Wieland Handke Posted December 30, 2025 Posted December 30, 2025 I very enjoyed to listen to this entertaining and festive piece. I cannot give an „explanation“ about the things behind the form, just have an imagination: The A section of the scherzo could be called „anticipation and impatience“, like children playing around before Christmas presents are handed out. In the B section of the scherzo, Santa Claus is standing at the door and suddenly knocks (in bar 29). The trio section for me is the „dance of the reindeer on the ice“ (haha). 2 Quote
Thatguy v2.0 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago My favorite of your Christmas pieces this year! The mash up pieces are cool, but for me it really shows your talents as a composer when you abandon the more complex ideas and speed-run a composition a day??), relying on chops to flesh out a simple and fun idea into something that's still stuck in my head. The trio was great too, and my favorite part was the entry of the basses. Thanks for sharing Peter, it's amazing how many pieces you've written lately! 2 Quote
