Thanks so much for the kind words! Yep there is the heavy Beethoven influence in the piece, and I decided to add the hints of chromatism and distant modulations to add my own flair to the piece. Unfortunately, due to the time constraints I was not able to add a coda, which I had really wanted to do. I think I may add one in another version that won't be performed. Thank you so much! Yea I can see the possible use for film! Yep I believe in the ability of my school's string ensemble! Yep, I will be more than willing to share the recording of this when it is completed! Thank you so much!

A superb piece. A little Beethovenesque but very well constructed and rendered. The instrumentation is excellent and the articulations are dead-on! Your school string ensemble must be pretty elite if they can cope with it. I hope they can and that you get a chance to record it. You're going to have a lot of fun at rehearsals!

The Lacrimosa for piano quartet was composed in 2019. It was written in reaction to the April 2019 Notre-Dame de Paris fire, an event that shocked me to such an extent that I felt compelled to put my feelings about it into music. The fact that one of the greatest architectural monuments in European history was suddenly getting destroyed was horrifying to me, especially considering that at the time, it was unknown how much of the building would actually survive. This performance is a remote recording - that is, a recording where the musicians involved record each track separately, often times in different locations, as in the case of this recording. The artists are Javier Orman from AirGigs on the violin, JonathanCello from Fiverr on the cello and viola (the latter line played on the cello), and myself at the piano; these musicians were absolutely fantastic to work with. Here are the links to their professional pages: https://www.javierorman.com/ https://www.fiverr.com/jonathancello/... I hope you all enjoy. 🙂

Hey everyone! I'm a novice composer, so critiques are much appreciated! Thanks for listening! Here's the sheet music for my composition.

I was thinking of calling this a nocturne, but I’m not sure how appropriate that categorization is. This piece was meant to evoke a foggy atmosphere in the period where it’s not certain whether it’s really late at night or really early in the morning. It’s quite brief and repetitive, so I hope to expand it later. [I have expanded it]

Hi everyone! I finally completed my scherzo for the String orchestra in A Minor, op. 5. It was commissioned to be performed by my school's string ensemble in a community concert, where the proceeds will be donated to a children's foundation for kids in need. The maximum stipulated duration for the piece was 3 minute 30 seconds (hence the short nature of the piece) and it follows an A-B-B'-A' structure. It uses an overarching melodic motif omnipresent throughout the piece with numerous rhythmic motifs along the way. Feel free to provide some feedback!

I love the way this sounds. I love that jazz influence that is very present in this piece. Keep it up!

I loved 0:47-1:15, absolutely beautiful. And 1:20-1:30, wow. I love your harmonies, and your use of accents is really impactful in his piece. I love how your piece feels like it's alive, it grows and moves. Beautiful work. I don't mean to disrespect you by saying this, but I could so hear this being used in a film. Keep up the awesome work.

Great job! I can definitely hear the influence of Beethoven's Scherzo from Symphony 9 in this although it does have it's own motivic and rhythmic identity. I think the piece grows organically from those motifs presented in the beginning. You use a variety of string techniques throughout with some well placed pizzicato passages. Also, the dynamics in the piece are very scherzo-like (meaning that they're very active and are often quite sudden and surprising). I think you also do a good job creating harmonic contrast with the sections in B minor and F# minor. Your many cool chromatic transitions are great as well. You manage to hit your target length with this piece! Well done and thanks for sharing!

Hi guys, here's a pop/folk/rock (honestly I'm not sure what genre to call it) song that I wrote and produced called Listening Listening. I'd really appreciate some feedback on it, especially the production aspect, as while I have a decent amount of songwriting experience, I'm pretty new to producing. Thanks for any help!
