First Post Ever

Hi, this is my first post and I have decided to post a piece for piano that I wrote for an English class assignment. This assignment was for Dante's Inferno and I decided to write a short piano piece depicting three scenes from the book. This was my second ever composition (after a string quartet) and I just wanted to see what people think. Please excuse the piano playing, I only had a week so I had to write something I could play without any study. Thanks everyone.

Here is the mp3 file (try lo-fi, hi-fi didn't seem to work properly):

Very nice.

Very interesting and enjoyable. Good luck.

It gets a little repetitive, but nothing a young composer should be too terribly worried about. I particularly liked the section at 2:00, and overall the harmonies were interesting and dramatic, and thankfully you didn't sit in one place too long. Good variety of figure, but I don't hear anything really memorable. I know you're portraying scenes here, but the ending is appallingly anticlimactic... I suppose it could just be your performance. It's good music, it just doesn't build anywhere. You've got a great start in composing, though, don't let my little criticisms discourage you!

I wasn't anywhere near that good just by a second composition. you're doing great..keep going =)
