Hey, any cool youtube channels you guys like that are music related? I personally like a few, here are some: https://www.youtube.com/@brandonacker https://www.youtube.com/@TheCharismaticVoice

I check this out first because it is in C# minor, my favourite key. (Is that a silly reason?) I love this dancing little piece! So elegantly made and easily recognizable as a Sarabande. The motion between upper and lower instruments is well maintained. I especially like those contrary motions, as it provides varied sound! I would love to have some terraced dynamics for this piece! Just the contrast of p and f will be perfect! I see there are some issue on parallel octaves and fifths. I think it is not as serious as in a four part piece. With one additional voice added the parallel octaves can be more freely allowed if it is occasionally used. Also as this is a dance piece, the style tended not be that as learned as the fugal pieces. Hence the voices need not to be that strict. And as it is only used for a short moment, it will be fine! I think the rhythm can vary just a little bit for the cello and double bass. I will just make the rhythm of the basses different to move the pace forward in the second beat, instead of stopping at the same beat with the upper instruments. This make the piece even lighter! How come you write this piece in such a short time!! Please, vouchsafe some muses or inspirations to me to compose faster!!!! Henry

For piano 284: I feel like it's more in F major! The beginning C major acts more like the dominant preparation of F major. That's why I find the B natural in b.18 somewhat strange. But it's definitely a great beginning to be developed! It's light-hearted and classical for me. For piano 285: There are many tone clushes and false relation in this one. Is that your intended sound? I find bar 11-13 really dissonant, but the dissonance can create a humorous effect if used repeatedly! Henry

LOL that's sacrilegious playing! NEW "FASTEST VIOLINIST IN THE WORLD" IS EVEN FASTER (and more sacrilegious) This is even more AMAAAZING!!

These guys are really funny https://www.youtube.com/@twosetviolin You gotta watch this episode: The World's FASTEST (and most INACCURATE) VIOLINIST!

My absolute favorite is https://www.youtube.com/@8bitMusicTheory https://www.youtube.com/@DBruce also has some really great content https://www.youtube.com/@KaraComparetto does piano arrangements/covers of popular video game music that I really like https://www.youtube.com/@NahreSol also makes some really great piano content especially about model writing in the styles of other composers (usually using "Happy Birthday" as a token example)

I really like: https://www.youtube.com/@DavidBennettPiano https://www.youtube.com/@QuarterTuned https://www.youtube.com/@AdamNeely https://www.youtube.com/@SignalsMusicStudio amongst others!

the first 11 seconds sounds so familiar. this piece has some interesting harmonic changes and a beautiful melody. the part at 74 was an interesting change of texture, I like how in this spot and in others you weren’t afraid to detract from romanticism, that part sounds almost “pop-y,” kinda reminds me of video game music
