I need help!

Featured Replies

I know that the first part and the second part have nothing to do with each other, but I was hoping that some how I could tie it in. Also, the only idea I have is to repeat what I have already written but that would be redundant. Needless to say I need help. I've also been thinking that I heard part of this somewhere. I do that aften. Please tell me if you heard it somewhere.

Thank you

what harmonic principle are you trying to apply?

I know no techincal terms, and I only write by ear. My problem is that I have no idea where I am going with this and I am stuck. i need help getting back on track.

A piece like this continues as a matter of taste, not a matter of technicality. It's up to you and only you how you continue.

Firstly, I think you need to insert another bar after bar 23 based around E7 to even out the phrasing and lead back into A major, setting the first triple in the RH and the second in the LH for variety. If I had to continue this piece I'd erase bars 32 onward and do a sudden key change into something remote at bar 31. F# major suggests itself with A# in the treble/RH and F# in the LH, and introduce some variety. If you want to keep the triplet figure going, write it for the left hand. Or do a variation - you chose a slightly different rhythm in bar 32 - maybe you could do something with that, but in the different key. But this is just my opinion.

Ok, the first bit - almost forgot. The semiquavers at the end of the bar 6 are too fast and sudden (to me). Maybe the same chord notes but use triplets would be less jarring. Again, were it me, I think I'd add an extra chord after the 2nd A maj chord in bar 8 - maybe possible to drop back down to the mediant, (C# minor chord) but in a different register to that in bar 7-8, say, based around middle C# - so C#-E-G#. But there're lots you could do here.

Thank you montpellier, I'll take that into consideration.

It sounds interesting and very mysterious at the beginning!
