???? The piece is generally well-constructed, but to me it feels maybe a bit busy? There's obviously imitation and everything but it very much feels like a piece that was written to fulfill certain criteria. In other words, the middle section's texture is a little too consistent for me. Varying it up I think would help a lot and allow for more distant relationships of the mode to be explored. Just my opinion.

My first song, written to a poem by Leopold Staff (a polish poet). I didn't use the whole poem because it's too long.

This is my Soliloquy for Guitar No. 7. I hope you like it. I would value all feedback, especially by classical guitarists.

Hey! This is pretty good! A well constructed canon and it feels dance-like how a minuet should feel as well. It sounds like you played this yourself on your own harpsichord or something which is pretty amazing LoL. Thanks for sharing!

You're in college, right? Imagine, instead of forcing yourself to be so scalar and inclusive in your approach, you take an isolated subset of the mode, set (026). This is substantially fewer notes and provides you with an opportunity to lighten your texture while staying true to the general sound of the mode. You can then do all of the typical fun inversions and transpositions of that set in that section to vary up the notes that are being used, maybe even using different whole tone collections at the same time.

It is a really good piece! The harmonic approach of the piece is really good, and its use of dissonance, as well as contrast, is effective. It is clear that you understand and utilised the conversational textures well. What I think you can probably explore is more distant modulations and extended chords, perhaps in a more contemporary style. You could try a more motivic approach to the piece, and explore the usage of extended string techniques, which will come naturally over time as your experience with strings gets better. Amazing that your double stop writing for strings is well-done and not overly-straining. I think however, that you could experiment with the return of the fugue in a different key from the first iteration to add that element of surprise. In the live recording of the piece, I think what would have been great would be if you could advise them to use more baroque style of playing especially given the nature of the piece to really enhance the effect. Baroque bows in particular, and require a faster velocity of the bow to play. There is a strong tendency to use the extreme ends of the bow and play those parts of the bow louder compared to the middle, as well as a characteristic tenuto-like articulation to the key notes of the piece. That could be something that can greatly enhance the texture of the piece, given its nature of a Baroque fugue.

Here is an original composition dedicated to the recently departed Chick Corea, with the title being an homage to his famous "Crystal Silence"...

A melancholic violin tune! Suggestions and critique are welcome!

Well, this is my second week of the waltz challenge, it is pretty late because engineering is sucking mylife out and I dont have much time to compose :c. With this one I tried to get out of my comfort zone, I used extended harmony,some basic counterpoint and writting mostly in major which are some of the things that Im bad at. Hope you like it, any feedback is welcome.

Hello everyone, I am coming back, this is my new piece, hope you like it
