Cheese with Walnuts (A Polka)

Featured Replies

Inspired by George Traugott polkas from the 1880s. That composer is practically unknown, so you might as well say it's my own style ;)

I think I'm not there yet in terms of harmonic and rhythmic variety, the melodies don't always seem to be developed the right way, but at least the general mood, form and dynamics are laid out.

I'm composing in this style of music all the time for 4 years now and I think I've met that barrier when I can't compose any more complex without some help. So any advice on the harmony, rhythm and melodic contour are appreciated. I know the theory on diminished sevenths (there's one in the piece by the way), augments, Neapolitans, borrowings from minor, etc, just don't know how to use them in this context.

Very Nice !

The Piano sound is quite clean and Crisp, and the overall composition is professional.

I personally would have created less of a "DROP" in dynamics, while still retaining a difference in volumes

However radio stations and Broadcast-Compressors would take care of this automatically.

Well Done.
