PianoWorks op.22 (Winter Wind).mid

This piece really seems alot like all of your others. IMO You should REALLY consider reasearching some new left hand material, cause the same old rythm over and over will drive the mind batty. Even when you go into a new section, the left hand is still strongly drawn from the previous section. IMO it get's extremely repetetive near the end. In composition, repetition is key, but not too much repetition. There are plenty of pieces out there where repetition is used alot, but not to the point where it drives the listener insane. IMO you could also have used some more interesting harmony, you only changed the harmony one time that I could hear.

A piece of advice:

Study some pieces by Bach or even some of Mozart's pieces. The prelude from the Well Tempered Clavier would be a good place to start, as Bach has all kinds of different harmonic interest in that piece.

So, IMO you should study and learn from the masters, and then use that knowledge to create a sound all your own. (Don't plagarise them no matter what you do)

Sorry to be so harsh but that's my honest opinion

Philip Glass succeeds with three chords because he knows what "creativity" means, and it certainly doesn't mean "doing something that sounds good." The worst thing a composer or an artist can do is make something with the goal that it will look or sounds good - He will inflates his ego and the work will invariably be crap.

If you want to be a compose, I suggest you get a composer's mindset. You won't create good music if you don't take risks. And just to be clear, that doesn't mean you can't restrict yourself to certain periods, I'm sure that if Bach or Mozart were alive today, they could still write great and new classical and baroque music - it just means you need to stop making music just because you think it's "pretty" or something.

What? You want xtremeaiy to write good music, but create it without the goal of making good music?

I really don't want to get into this debate, but I have to say that this is the most absurd thing I've ever read on any forum.

Whatever a composer's personal vision of "beauty", his goal is to express. Whether he be expressing beauty or anger or sadness or any other emotion, the desire is to express something.

When a composer works on something his express desire SHOULD be to write something that "sounds good". His ear will guide him as to whether he's achieved that goal or not, but that remains his ultimate goal. I don't believe ANY composer writes music with the express purpose of it NOT sounding good.

sounds good = has achieved the desired auditory effect.
