Fantasia in g minor for strings: Fantasia in g minor originally scored for organ manualiter. I have arranged it for strings (playback is woodwind quartet). The second fugue is a bit longer then in the organ version and some mistakes have been edited. Ms: 1. Fantasia theme Ms: 7. Free counterpoint Ms: 52 First fugue theme. Ms: 91 Second fugue theme. Ms 130 Fantasia theme Ms 138. Free counterpoint. Please tell me what you think.

Hi everyone! Here I post a short prelude (Well I do not know if to call it a prelude as it is rather experimentation). I've started the piece with the idea to write a fugue of a single note melody, but at it only for a short bit as affter I did not whant to continue. The piece is for two pianos (Is not really a piece as It is something I would never like to publish or perform). And basically I tryed to experiment with rythm and with inspiration of some minimalist works. I hope you enjoy. 🙂

Hey, I just composed my first commission ever. I hope everyone enjoys it and if you have some feedback I would appreciate it. 🙂 Idk what else to say so here you have it:

Yes, the B section really starts after I recall the small Bb-A-D-G motif, although you could consider the first fragment in G# minor some kind of B theme. I consider the structure of the piece an ABA', but the B section can be seen in two ways. Because when I was composing it, the slow part was kind of a transition to make sure G# sounded totally natural. (Because modulating from G minor to G# minor can sound a bit funky if I don't make sure the listener is well settled.) So you can see it a part of the transition or a subsection of the B theme. And glad to see you liked it. 😉

Hello. Thank you very much for listening and reviewing. First question: Yes that was intentional. Its still in the high bass register, and lower in pitch then the first exposition. The was no plan for a 4 voice fugue in its traditional meaning. More of a trio with contiuno (comes from doing too much italian baroque...). The therm fugue might not be the right one in this piece, fugal sections or fuguish. At ms 72 its not the entire theme playd, so the real entry is in 79. Could offcourse used the episode to go somwhere else, but Gm is where it went after all... Second question: That is correct. The second fugal theme goes out from the frist one. The exposition is with the beginning of the first theme, but the exposiion has cut the beginning. What you are pointing out is very ture. I am using the material as free conterpoint. I was experimenting with a triple fugue her, but i decied not go for it. My baroque style is very influenced by the early baroque.. Not that i have any problems with modulations, i just dont like to wander off to far this time! 🙂

This is a nice emotional work that somehow avoids cliche! I like the main theme. Does the B theme start at m. 35 or maybe m. 47? Although m. 47 seems more like a variation of the original A theme - I think from m. 47 onwards you really do some of the best work in this piece that I've heard - very emotional. Now - m. 100 is obviously the "true" recapitulation of the A theme so maybe the previous material was the B theme that the person who commissioned this gave you? Very interesting piece! Nice job!

Awesome! What's this for? Will we get to hear a live performance? Or is it for a film or video game? Regardless, getting paid and having a deadline is a great motivator for your music, as I've found under "stresses" it can bring the best out of you. Plus you can use this as a giant upside in your portfolio for your future endeavors. This piece flows very nicely, nothing seems out of place as your transitions are well crafted. Make sure to keep in touch with the client; you would be surprised how their word of mouth promotion of your music can help with finding more work. Well done, keep us updated!

I think is a very well acomplished piece. It reminds me of music of a Studio Ghibli movie. Is it in a ABA form? If it is I love B section (when the adante starts) and how contrasting and full of relief it is when the main theme comes back. Well I guess I'm going to repeat myself to say that you've done a very good piece of music.
