My Piano Sonata No.1 in F Minor composed in 2018. The sonata has 3 movements and is written in a romantic style. The first movement is in rondo form. The second consists of a prelude and a short fugue, and the final movement is more free in its form. The sonata is inspired by some of the works of Chopin and Beethoven. I'd be interested in any feedback. Sorry about the awful recording quality.

I love your pieces. They are so technically proficient but more importantly (in my opinion) they convey a lot of depth and meaning. Your vision is really good. Keep up the good work, you are definitely someone to watch!

good job! I love the idea, I may take those runes motif to make a Prelude since i'm composing one! don't hate me 😛

Just completed this after spending two months trying to come up with something in F. Decided to experiment a bit here with weird rhythms etc. and don't know if it is a successful use of these things or not. Any advice/feedback is greatly appreciated, cheers. Also thanks @Tortualex, @maestrowick, @Jean Szulc and @J.Santos for your feedback on my previous Eb min. nocturne. I'll work on the suggested improvements but it will most likely take a while as it take me ages to come up with anything now.

hello sir or madam, i went and made an unofficial discord server, dunno if there was one, but y'know whatever. here's the invite link https://discord.gg/mGWknNT

The lullaby reminds me of LIszt's Lebestraum -only less imaginative. I like it though. The B7 in measure 15 doesn't quite work and seems to sever the environmental that preceded it drastically -I'd look for a different progression here. The material at measure 17 also is a bit departed from the first half. A little too much, in my opinion. I'd look for a way to tie the two sections together (mind you, this could also be due to the transitory progression I mentioned at measure 15). When you change textures like this, it's always a good idea to foreshadow the change to prepare. In Viaje, I noticed you love the type of texture created by the opening bars. I've seen this in a few of your works. So, that said, let's see where you take this. Here, you took it where I figured you would -give me something new. That said, I think you missed an awesome opportunity to explore the tonal landscape in measures 21-30. Formalistically, I think this one is much more cohesive then the lullaby. Nice works!

Viaje de invierno: this more complex and it fulfills a description of winter. I only have a suggestion on the melody. The pattern of octaves is very present. Perhaps in the final part I would explore to "erase" some notes leaving for example the higher ones in syncopation. The middle part, with chords provide good contrast and is nice. Also de pianissimo part from m. 51 is beautiful. Good work.

Canción de cuna: beautiful piece. It seems to have an AAB form.. That is AA and a short coda. The melody is quite minimal, in fact it reminds to some of Philip Glass Etudes (except for harmonies). The modulation is good. Taking into account this type of melody, the constant arpeggiated pattern, the coda or final part is fresh. Although the sextuplets are still there, the distribution now is different, also the quadruplets in melody help to make it sound different. It's nice as it is, but with this material I would have planned an ABA form or ABAB, so this coda or B part break the repetition. But as you know, this are just opinions.
