It's a bit of both, really. Motif like M4 is there because it appears on the OST and I want to develop it much further (+I really like the development on the Lento Affectuoso section), M3 is usually for buildups, while M1-M2 signifies the journey that reflects the game. The game that I took the OST from focuses on exploration in different planets of a little solar system different from our solar system, so you could hear parts of that journey in the piece. If you look at T3 (i know I'm talking theme here), it creeps in the shadows of the piece and at the end fully embraces it self. This actually correlates to one important event to the game that kickstarts the protagonist's journey. It's also for an exercise of how much I could develop motives into coherent sections (and counterpoint exercise). Hey man, it's alright! I'll always be glad that I got even a review so you can just reply whenever you want!

Hello people! Late last year I helped organize and host "The Tortoise and the Hare" Young Composers Instrumental Music Composition Competition and now I've finally had the time to write a piece in that theme as well! I've picked Bassoon for representing the Tortoise, Piccolo for the Hare and Solo Violin for the Fox. I didn't intend for this to be a fully exhaustive set of variations on each theme - only to allow me to characterize each personality in the fable to the best of my ability. I've also tried to follow the fable in the form of my piece which goes as follows: 0:23 - A - Enter Tortoise 0:46 - B - Enter Hare 1:04 - C - Hare mocks Tortoise 1:20 - D - Enter Fox 1:36 - E - Tortoise & Hare agree to Race 1:58 - F - The Race Ensues ! 2:09 - G - Hare tires & falls asleep 2:17 - H - Tortoise hurries 2:34 - I - Tortoise passes Hare 2:51 - J - Tortoise tires 3:02 - K - Fox spots Tortoise 3:13 - L - Hare awakes and hurries 3:30 - M - Tortoise wins! Let me know what you think! I welcome your critiques, suggestions and observations!

Heyo new work just dropped. I've put everything surrounding this piece into the pdf score, or you can just read it in the video description. Which btw, I've finally made my first score scrolling (there's not even scrolling its just a slide show) video! This score took me ages to polish and I'm so happy of how it looked! I know it's not the most interesting work texturally, but thematically I think it's fine. And since this work borrowed themes from somewhere else, I've decided to link the original music down below so you can check out the original music and listen to what I've borrowed, I guess. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPa8bPqQfmo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z34enKCqRGk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5vG4Be1Ci8

Wow, what a splendid masterpiece! Although I have never ventured into this compositional style, I enjoyed listening to every part of it. You must have spent a lot of effort blending these thematic materials! For some reason, listening to this piece reminds me of Nikolai Kapustin's preludes. Thank you for sharing this, and you have done a terrific job!

Hi! I just finished a trio piece (elegy) dedicated to 305 victims of sinking accident of Sewol MV in 2014 Sinking of MV Sewol - Wikipedia based on the original melody (inspired from my childhood memories and some Korean folklores)... Any comments or suggestions will be really appreciated! Thanks

Modern but fairly tonal. The cello has always been a favourite instrument. In this piece I don't use any weird articulations - bound as I am to the sample set anyway. It started out as a longer work and after an amount of pruning I'm not too sure if it still works as a compact little piece with an intro, the dance and a closing cool-down. Any comment would be sincerely appreciated, particularly about if it holds together or not. And thank you if you can give it time to listen. I've included the score to show roughly the layout but take no notice of it otherwise. I hate notation software. It made an utter mess of interpreting the midi export even though I took a lot of care with the grid, parameters etc. It messed up triplets, offset some of the staves, used double-flats, missed out notes, compressed the staves on some pages - many things. Being the work is unlikely to be performed I'm not ready to spend more time on it than I have. Besides, depending on comment here inter alia I may rework the piece and have to do the whole thing again. So may I suggest the engraving doesn't warrant anyone wasting their time on it. Thanks.

Hi @Ferrum, Sorry for a late reply (again!), since I got sick this week and can only reply some easier works, but yours certainly need much energy to listen to it especially after your update of the form! I have just relistened to the piece with the formal analysis beside me, and it is indeed very coherent and tight. It's so nice to have fellow composers write so motivically in a similar style I myself doing! Do the appearance of the motives signify something, or only for coherence? Thx for your update of the form very much! Henry

Your best work to date! (to me.) All you needed was a little production value and boom! Congrats on an amazing piece man.
