It's been a while since I've written something truly tonal; even my musical theater stuff uses post-tonal theory. You'll hear the main motives a lot, and my intent was to practice imitation in various ways. Hope you enjoy!

Hi, I am from Syria and I'm 19 years old. This is a short solo piano piece I have composed. I hope you listen to it and give me your opinion!

It sounds amazing! Thought there's 2 things you could improve, and I'm not talking about the piece!!! First of all: speed is not always a way to show something good. I will greatly slowdown that tempo. You need to prove a lot of tempos before deciding one. Second, it would be nice if you bring us the score too! If you have it we could criticise the scoring and have a more clear vision of the music. Keep doing this well!

Hello everyone, I am eager to join the forums and check out everyone else's work! I just posted my first original orchestral track, Protector of Light on Youtube. Please take a listen and provide feedback! This utilizes orchestral sample libraries only, but I plan to incorporate live recorded instruments into future works. If anyone likes the music, please subscribe. I have many more songs in the works! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsPGNgYxtuI&feature=youtu.be Kind Regards, StarCrypt

Do you have a score for it? It would be very useful to see how that could be achieved. By the way, what is that sound around 0:32?

Sounds amazing! The question is: how exactly do you expect it to be performed? Is it for one piano using a specific tuning, or will this be performed on multiple instruments each with a different tuning?

Hi, here my new baroque piece. I dedicated some time to write down all the ornamentation for the solo oboe part, though I'm not sure if it would have been written like that on the period, or if it was the player who freely chose the appropiate embellishments. Anyway I had to write it down on my notation program if I wanted it to be played like that, so here it is. Let me know your opinion.

I may have my first ones in a notebook somewhere. I know I may have some violin sententiae somewhere also. I'll keep you posted.

The first one reminded me of Ligeti, but for the second it totally strikes me as Schöenberg, specially his Op.19 is pretty similar. For the third one I don't know what to say, it was both like Bartok microkosmos and the simplier Stravinsky at the same time. Good job!

Well I like the piece. I'm liking how the vocals create a bed for the other melodic elements. If I can offer a suggestion.. maybe try to create more space in the track through reduction.

Don't apologize!! I have heard of none of these people!!! Good stuff!

Man, great job. Please get rid of those double flats in that opening...although I get WHY you did. it functions more Dmajor than anything else though. I respect you wanting to have it linear. Still, I think you can make both pieces longer. You're on to something great here!

well said!

Slow the intro down just a tad, maybe 10 ticks to make it even more playable

This is pretty good! It sounds fun to play, and I like how you don't just give the right hand the melody all the time. You kept my interest with the shifts in tonal centers, from major to minor, and really the whole thing fit together well. I hope you're able to have it performed someday. Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad you liked them and hope I did the ideas justice. I'll probably write more of these and refine it some.

nice!!!! Thanks for sharing, I didn't know this piece at all
