hello everyone, this is my new piece, hope you like it! the video: 【微分音钢琴】作品5之7 无标题_哔哩哔哩_bilibili

Yes I am, taking theory and performance classes in college, so hopefully you'll see more of my pieces on here in the future. Well as boring as they may be, if you wanted to elaborate, I would love to hear your thoughts and discuss them.

What a valuable feedback you gave! You have my immense gratitude for taking the time to help me out 🙂 Thanks for listening

The "problem" is that this canon has hundreds or covers that have lost its essence and they are not canon anymore. If you go to the original with 4 violins you will see. Anyway is a good variation set.

Hey there! Glad to see you're still around doing music and hopefully learning how to notate your great gospel church hymns! In this piece, since you have the flute part playing an octave above its range throughout the whole piece never going below the written D above middle C, you might as well give it to piccolo, since all they notes are well within the piccolos range. I think this is a nice and quaint little composition! Not a bad piece of model writing although as you say there's some technical errors but I won't bore you nor myself with the details of those. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice! I hope that the melody in the beginning will be played by 2 Clarinets soli because there's very scarce room to breathe and if they were both playing they could each take breaths at different places (much like the voices too). Are the cellos being doubled by contrabasses in this? In the classical era composers would write only one part in bass clef that was meant to be doubled by both cellos and contrabasses. I think if it's not being doubled, a contrabass part would certainly add some body to your orchestration! I like how you vary the reprise of the introductory material by thickening the texture and adding nice contrapuntal lines in the basses. The contrasting section, while related to the original melody is different enough to inspire interest. The B section also has almost a sort of Christmas Carol type of character to it! The C section, being more melancholy and quiet gives the listener a break from the more joyful B section. Actually now that I hear the A theme again it sounds like a Christmas Carol too! Thanks for sharing! If you want some great orchestration tips and tricks check out this channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thesecretsoforchestration. There are many concepts/terms in this study of orchestration which I haven't heard used anywhere else, such as the "device" which is the combination of instruments playing the melody, while the "texture" is the combination of instruments playing the accompaniment either underlaying, interlaying or overlaying the material in relation to the melody. Check it out!

I listen to this for the 2nd time today. Is the plucked instrument zither? I love the pointilistic touch and the sf chords. The baritone is fascinating. The section begins in 3:30 is so mystic. I love the use of female voice with other instruments in it, creating a bewildered atmosphere. That's a wonderful listening, thanks for your sharing! Henry

Yes! It works. I reset my password using my email. After that I entered using my display name (Luis Hernandez) and the new password. It works in my iMac and iPad. Thanks!!
