The Circus, piece i C Major

Featured Replies

Hi!!

This is a piece i wrote a day ago, it

The Circus.MID

It was a very nice sounding piece, though perhaps with a little too much repetition. The harmony I thought was done quite well.

IMO repetition is not an error in music, if you want to repeat the same part 10000 times its up to you, you are the composer. This piece is very nice yet in some parts it seemed a lot like you have written it without any consideration, the overall rate for me is 3.9/5 :)

If you want to keep someone entertained... well...

Well, it's kind of hard to go into depth about a 47 second peice. Perhaps you should make it a little longer?

What was up with all the minor seconds? Icky.

I liked it. Too short though. But it was very repetitive with no change in form or rhythm at all.

I think this works as a fun children's piece. I kinda like it, keep it up.

This is a piece i wrote a day ago

Time to write 3 weeks, tot: 3 days

What? You say you wrote it a day ago and then write that it took you 3 weeks and 3 days to write? :)

Well on the piece. IMO it was WAY too short, but it wasn't terribly bad. Just a tad too much repetition for my taste. Repetition is key in music, but not so much to when it drives the listener insane. Perhaps a new motif here and there might have eliminated this, but then again, this is all my opinion ;)

Keep Composing!

I liked the ornamented melody; it was very tuneful. The ending it also very effective. Only thing I didn't like and we can probably blame MIDI for it was some abrupt switches from semiquavers or whatever to big chords with no movement. You could make it longer if you wanted but it's fine as it is.

I think you have a wonderful base to start with. And I think it needs work. Too many notes in each bar I think. You don't have to have alot of notes for a piece to sound impressive. Take out some of the triplets or whatever they are. Maybe. I don't have the answers I'm just wondering if it would sound better this way. And also I notice that some of the notes should be flat or sharp, and vise versa. I understand you were going for that kind of odd sound (which I love) but too much of that is really painful to listen to.

Dude...you basically just plagarized Kabalevsky's "Clown's Theme". What's the point of posting something if it's just going to be a distorted version of an already written piece?
