Piano Sonata no.1 in A major Pastoral First Movement 13-01-2023.pdf This is the scored version of the first movement of my Piano Sonata no.1 in A major, Pastoral (2015). It's called pastoral since I subconsciously use the theme from Beethoven Symphony no.6 in the same name. It's more influenced by Beethoven's op.101 though. This movement and the whole sonata is basically a practice on using one single motive throughout the piece. In this movement sonata form is used. The prime motive is used as the first subject and the inverted form is used as the second subject. Hope you enjoy! I personally don't value this piece highly though. I plan to record the 2nd movement as well, but the 3rd and 4th movements I am in doubt of their quality, so I probably won't record them. P.S. Please find the youtube video, mp3 and pdf file! This recording is recently recorded and the score is polished a little bit. Henry P.P.S. The second movement of the work is posted on YC with the link below: -
I've been studying counterpoint for years now, learned mainly from Fux's gradus and developed a solid understanding of species counterpoint. That said, one quick analysis of this first movement will reveal deviations from the rules presented in that book. Accented passing notes, leaping from dissonances, and the occasional unprepared chord in second inversion, that one consecutive fifth... I'm well aware of the rules broken and the liberties I have taken when it came time to make the transition from species exercises to actual composition. Despite that, i'm very proud with what I ended up with. There's plenty that I wish to improve, and hopefully you'll get to hear the results of my efforts in the following 2 movements, as well as in everything that will be released following the completion of this sonata.

A Piece of Me, for You.pdf A Piece of Me.mp3 Despite the simplicity, I think this one turned out absolutely awesome. it was inspired by some... for lack of better words... interestingly put together scoring done by a novice user on the Musescore platform. The only thing that is anywhere near the same is the feel I thought he was goin for, and the key of Ab Major being used, with emphasis on the Major 7ths. (Which I love so so so much. Me and Major 7th chords talk with one another often... hehe) Hope you all enjoy. Let me know what you think! IF anybody wanted to pick up the piece to play it, please please please feel free to do so, I just want a recording of it 😅 😅 😅 -
The final piece of my four Piano pieces set and just a lame joke. Can be developed into a postmodern minimalistic masterpiece by repeating the joke forever and forever...... Joke in A flat major.pdf Hope you enjoy this one! Henry

Any ideas where I could potentially collaborate with someone to add some kind of orchestration to these pieces? I'm only good with composing piano pieces I don't have much skill with musical software or adding multiple instruments -
ello everybody, I've spent many months working on three short new piano pieces for beginning to intermediate students. These are originally intended for children to play, but could also be for beginning adults. In these pieces, I've also tried to discover my own voice and style, do let me know how I've done in those areas. Other feedback related to technique, harmony and playability would be much appreciated. Poem 1: "based on a theme by Beethoven", updated score Poem 2: "the quirky detective", updated score Poem 3: "the crazed capybara", score

Hello my dear friends, I wish you all the best! After the exhausting composition of the string quartet, I decided to take a little rest and create five short pieces for violin and piano. Each one has a slightly different character, so hopefully you will like at least one of them 😅 I am attaching a link to the playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkdhDBNsadAFcrUSvZ0IJecryMQIa8iF8&si=jkL63F2p1dLcfglt

Nocturne written by me, any and all feedback is appreciated

Wow I did not expect this to be completed in such a short amount of time after I had posted the work in progress thread a week ago. That's a record. Though, I guess I did work on in beforehand. Still though, glad this one is not stuck in work-in-progress purgatory, just like the others... Anyways, since the latest progress, I've modified the return to the first theme, most notably, a flurry of ascending scale on b.105 followed by a trilled downward passage of the theme. This is done to kick start the momentum of the piano's spotlight on the proceeding bar instead of just the piano reciting the theme alone in the 2022 version. Another drastic change is that I've turned the passage from b.112 onwards to be a build-up for a proper, actual climax at b.118. Additionally, I've fixed the many of the pitch spelling errors and, of course, tidied up the score as well. There are other smaller changes on the piece as whole, but I'm not gonna list them here. I'm really really happy I did this revision 'cus, again, I just love the themes in this and it's worth putting it to my current musical knowledge. It feels satisfying and gratifying. Old version for comparison: Progress Thread (wow i posted only two progresses on there) Hope you all enjoyed this and lemme know what you think! Thank youuuu edit: thanks to @pateceramics for pointing out the ineffective rhythmical change on bar 5-7. -
The Image in G major is the third piece of the four piano pieces I wrote for relaxation after writing the very heavy String Sextet. I try to do something a bit different than the previous two pieces, as I actively use more quartal chords and pentatonics in the whole piece, and also invite a bit of impressionistic chords. This is my personal favourite of the set. Here is the score and YT video: (Final) Image in G major.pdf Like the previous pieces, this one also comes from recycled materials. It comes from an unfinished Piano Suite I composed in 2016 Jan, but only with fragments of it including the first few bars, b.35-38 LH melody and some parts of b.58-72. Don’t know why I went for pentatonics that long ago LoL! One thing to note: b.43-46 is probably inspired by @Fugax Contrapunctus Pabio’s mention of Joe Hisaishi in his review of my Sextet, plus my recent listening experience of his music while watching Miyazaki’s films. Hope you enjoy this small piece! Henry

It's been a while since I've done work in progress stuff. So, in order to stay motivated, I'm gonna post some progress on this revision. I've been in the mood for doing revision of my older pieces, and I wanna rework them with my current knowledge of composition. I've mentioned before that I've been doing some rework on the Alula Variations but I'd probably put it in indefinite pause. With that said, I really love the themes in this but I felt like I could do better with the current version. I've thickened up the accompaniment, added and varied the articulations on both instruments, experimented with dynamics, added a bunch of ornaments, neighbor notes, passing notes, counter point, you name it, added more variety to the harmony, and tinkered with the registral characteristics of the clarinet and used them to my advantages. I especially liked the quasi dance-like rhythm on the current version so I've made the rhythm clearer and more pronounced on that section. I've rewritten the cadenza so it actually contains previous materials and not just some random arpeggios. Although, I've not inputted in the notes on the score yet. You could listen to it on the audio, however. Anyways, feedbacks are always appreciated, tysm. Here's the old version for comparison.

Hello everyone, I’d like to share my new piano sonata, "Rebirth". This is a single-movement large-scale work that follows sonata form, incorporating smaller inner sections and a fugue in the development section. I tried to build a thematic transformation throughout. I finished it some time ago, but last week I finally got around to inputting the notes into the software (it was actually written on paper in pencil, though). One day, I’d love to dedicate a month or so to detailed performance work on this piece and make a real recording. Anyway, for now, I would appreciate any outside opinions and suggestions, points of view, etc. Why I wrote this piece The main reason I wrote it was simply a strong desire to compose something substantial for solo piano, using some contemporary compositional approaches while mixing them with traditional techniques to create a coherent storytelling experience through music. I would love to hear your feedback on the composition, structure, and, especially, emotional impact. I am especially curious to know if my ideas work on paper. Any thoughts or constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated! P.S. I added time-codes with some Structure indications to the video on YouTube. I hope it helps in some way! Thank you for your time and attention, Dima

This Moment Musical in A-flat major is the second piece of the four pieces I intend to write for relaxation after finishing the very heavy String Sextet. As the title suggests, I only want to achieve Schubertian simplicity with some contemplation here. The result is somewhat a bit beautiful and contemplative for me. Here is the YT link and pdf for you: 5-4-2025 Moment Musical in A flat Major.pdf This piece is the opposite with the Intermezzo in A, the first piece of the set, as it uses the theme from the 1st movement of my First Piano Sonata and the key and texture of the 1st movement of my Second Piano Sonata. The recording and this video is again made in a rush so the quality may not be good. Hope you enjoy this little piece! Here is the previous Intermezzo from the same set: Henry

Lately, I've had a brutal case of writer's block. I've had all sorts of ideas floating around, but nothing seems to coalesce. Just fragments. This piece is, essentially, my attempt to break out of my frustrating lack of inspiration. I've never written an "impromptu" before. I didn't go into it knowing what I was writing. It just sort of ... emerged this way. https://app.box.com/s/ohe4i9u2jw7cqw4xyi7pak7plsnucgvs (Impromptu in G Minor -- WAV File) https://app.box.com/s/pc8l32bqrc7kjh428f2cugyg4refcnck (Impromptu in G Minor -- PDF File)

Hi, this is a side piece that I've worked on whilst I work on the revision for the Alula Variations (I love doing reworks on a 30 mins piece's score hahaha....). I chose bassoon and flute because I kinda wanted to write a chamber piece and write for bassoon. I also like the vibe of the OST. So yeah, hope you enjoy!

Thought I would share a draft of my final project for a composition course, covering the common practice period and ending with the Impressionist and Expressionist movements. I make use of chord extensions, non-traditional cadences, and modalities such as Dorian and Lydian as well as moments of E Major and E Augmented. Ballade-like accompaniment prevails, and 2:3 or 4:3 polyrhythms are often present. The form consists of a 4-bar introduction, a repeated A section, a repeated contrasting B section, and then a final nod to the intro and the first phrase of the A section. I'm not sure what that form is called. The music came to me before the conceptual title I have attached to it. In retrospect I noticed how the harmony seemed to constantly alternate between dark and bright, which reminded me of clouds passing over the sun. The piece has a quiet, moody opening and closing and lighter, even magical moments in the middle. Any constructive criticism is welcome! Thanks, Gwendolyn- 4 replies

https://app.milanote.com/1TII471vkUth6Z?p=DtciXzL9BNN I wasn't able to upload my mp3 or ss so I've added an invitation link into the post. (Let me know if it doesn't work) I'm currently in Year 11, studying a Year 12 subject, AIF. One of the criteria for this assignment is collecting external feedback from experts (Expert just means someone who has experience in the chosen area). I would appreciate anyone giving me some feedback, and helping to guide me potentially.- 2 replies

Romance for Mezzo-Soprano or Baritone "O, Lady Inna..."
Dima Kravets posted a topic in Choral, Vocal
Hi everyone! I’m new here — my name is Dima Kravets, and I’m a composer and piano student. I've been involved in music since the age of five, first as a professional pianist and later as a composer (for quite a few years now). Piano has been my lifelong focus, while composition started as a hobby—something I’ve dedicated countless hours to, creating new music from scratch. My main inspirations come from classical, cinematic, and contemporary music, and I strive to compose in all these styles. Until now, my works have been mostly for piano and chamber ensembles, blending elements of classical, romantic, and modern music. I’d love to share a short composition of mine — a romance for piano and mezzo-soprano. It’s based on a poem by the Ukrainian poet Pavlo Tychyna, and I’ve also provided a simple English translation of the lyrics. I’d truly appreciate any feedback, professional advice, or even a short comment. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts — thanks for your time!- 1 reply
