Hi, this is the first composition I share here😄 Preludio No.1.pdf Preludio No.1.mp3

Hah! No I didn't. I must have heard it in times past although the samples I used cry out for a lively rhythm like that. Thank goodness it's only the first bar. LOL I wrote another set of variations. I may swap Var 1 from that which doesn't risk being called out! But as I declared, I've been receiving tuition from DailyDuo, maybe it infected that first variation. LOL EDIT: Sadly my knowledge of Scandinavian music is weak, some Sibelius but mainly Hilding Rosenberg's Orchestral music. I was bowled over by his 3rd Symphony. /edit But thanks indeed for your comments - much appreciated considering how rough the thing is. Yes, most of it was roughed out on paper (especially Var 4) but the other pieces I had a reasonable idea of the harmony so just some text notes and oddments around the tune. The Vars are so short they didn't need a lot of thinking about. Those solo pieces were played in and edited. It's the rubato that held back trying to get them into score. So, thanks again, Peter, and I'll have a look at swapping that variation in the next few days.

Wow - when I first heard this a few weeks ago I was amazed by how quickly you were able to put together 6 minutes of music. For me (because I write everything on paper first and then enter it into Musescore) there is no circumventing the engraving process. I'm presuming that you simply played or improvised the piano variations into your DAW using a midi keyboard? The first variation surprised me with its familiarity - did you mean to quote Dag Wiren (a famous 20th century Swedish composer)? The last piano variation sounds like lounge music that you purportedly are in the business of improvising which is why I asked if you played it into your DAW - it's really nice to hear such velvety sweet and jazzy music around Christmas time. Thanks for sharing!

I don’t have an awful lot to say, but I think it’s absolutely adorable. I especially like the charming sound of ms. 15.
