Asking any feedback for the Second movemente of my string quartet

Featured Replies

Hello, i'm new in this community. I'd appreciate some feedbacks for my new project. I'm not a composer, neither i've studied any advanced musical theory (just the basics of harmony and counterpoint). https://youtu.be/plYqa90qEbQ?si=RW37P57Ywl95hg8O. This is the link where i posted the composition. Hope you like it, if you have any suggestion just write a comment under the video or under this post. Thank you!

Hey Filippo,

Thanks for posting with us. You will get much better attention if you post your music here in the following way:

  1. Explain your intentions and approach to the music you have made

  2. Attach a PDF & MP3 of the score in question, rather than pointing us to a third party link. Make sure also that the PDF is of high enough quality to enable analysis.

Listening to the opening, your music sounds minimalist. I like what I hear so far... :)

Hello Markus, thank you for your advice. I'll edit the post with your suggestions.
My style is quite minimalistic (I love gorecky, Part etc). Probably this will be the II MVT of this SQ. The First should be quite more Vivace and less Tonal, the last will probably be a Fugue-Corale one, but i've never tried to compose one of them. Will see if it comes well.
Thanks again.

It is very beautiful, Filippo!

It sounds a little like Max Richter.

I hope you don't mind me having a play around with your ideas?

Im curious, is there a reason why you invert the tonic chord in the beginning (A in the bass, rather than F)? Im genuinely curious... I am not skilled in this style of music.

Thank you!
Like i've said i'm not a theoryst or anything similar to a composer. What I do is from hearing a lot of music. The choise of the First inversion is to mantain a non perfect start. The other chords seems also not to finish themself. I don't know if you understand. But the objective was to make the start like an "ambient" music. The melody itself is quite hidden in is length (there all semiquaver or longer note). This is also the first time i try to compose in a sonata form (probably i've missed something), but the real piece is in the development, with primary and secondary melody going togheter. Also the recapitulation is more "classic" with more voicing also for introducing the third movement (which i havent started to compose)
Hope i satisfaied your question :)
