For Fiona

This is a piano piece I wrote for a friend of mine named Fiona. I have attached the MIDI file and the Sibelius file but I was very lazy with this one and didn't write in any sustain pedal (instead gave the direction to pedal at will), nor did I use any rit's or accel's where they belong. It will be a very hollow performance, therefore. Oh well, still tell me what you think.

This is a very interesting piece. Very contemporary. There isn't a great deal of flow, though. Some of the key changes seem sort of arbitrary, and it doesn't have a lot of form save for abcdefghijkba. But you got the ba there at the end, so that's good :angry: I did; however, like this piece. It just appeals to me.

Interesting to say the least. But the beginning, for about 2 minutes, was very slow. Alot slower than it needed to be. The chords were held for a little too long.

I liked it but it was too tedious. Your abcdefghijkba form was a little different. You should at least add in some little snippets of the earlier melodies. Maybe rondo form? I dunno.

A little too contemporary for me, but good to say the least. :laugh:

Keep it up! :toothygrin:

very different form, didn

hello guys, sorry for the slow reply but i'm in thailand on a keyboard without a working shift key. thanks very much for the comments. yeah, the formlessness is very problematic. certainly it is too slow at the start but hopefully with the pedal involved and a real piano the chords would linger sweetly. my friend fiona appreciated the piece as well. isn't writing something for someone the best present?

Honeslty, I did not enjoy this piece one bit. It sounded pretentious and unlistenable and I wouldn't even bother trying to fix it. Just start something new and forget about it. Although, I do believe you have talent. I think you just got caught up being too contemporary and experimental.
