Romantic Minature

Hi,

This is the first piece I've uploaded here. It was the piece I submitted for my AS level.

It's supposed to be a Romantic Minature. Tell me what you think!

Thank you.

lol cool, we've just been covering romantic minatures in A2 composition at my school and this is certainly more impressive than mine haha!

I like how you maintain the agitated pace without (mostly) running out of ideas to keep it going.

one small thing is that the dynamics seem a bit off, in that one part suddenly seems (round 2:06)to quieten for no reason, the music was still fast paced and i felt it didn't really fit imo. but hey, thats just moi. :D

otherwise nice work!

Sincerely, I don't like the end. It's out of place and sense. Also, somewhere in the middle I recognized a costarrican piece, but I don't know it's name.

Putting these individualistic opinions aside, it is a great piece (far better than mine), though I agree with He Who Knows No Theory. The piece sounds good and it calms down the audience.

One thing you could do for your next piece is to relieve the tension of evenness by adding some ritardandos and the such.

Good work, keep going!

Could you explain what a romantic miniature is?

"Romantic miniature is the term given to the considerable number of single-movement works
