Piano Sonata no.1 in A major Pastoral First Movement 13-01-2023.pdf This is the scored version of the first movement of my Piano Sonata no.1 in A major, Pastoral (2015). It's called pastoral since I subconsciously use the theme from Beethoven Symphony no.6 in the same name. It's more influenced by Beethoven's op.101 though. This movement and the whole sonata is basically a practice on using one single motive throughout the piece. In this movement sonata form is used. The prime motive is used as the first subject and the inverted form is used as the second subject. Hope you enjoy! I personally don't value this piece highly though. I plan to record the 2nd movement as well, but the 3rd and 4th movements I am in doubt of their quality, so I probably won't record them. P.S. Please find the youtube video, mp3 and pdf file! This recording is recently recorded and the score is polished a little bit. Henry P.P.S. The second movement of the work is posted on YC with the link below:

Here you have my last composition. I crafted both preludes without the use of a piano or any other tool. Only pen, paper and my harmony knowledge were used. I challenged myself to do it this way because they are dedicated to a friend of mine who is a colorblind artist, and that reminded me of Beethoven. Both preludes use the harmonic minor tetrachord between the V and I degrees. I also make a heavy use of augmented sixths and phrygian inflections. It is probably my best composition when it comes to quality/length ratio. And it shows where my harmonic tonal limit is without the help of a piano. I hope all of you enjoy these creepy miniatures. 🙂

Hi Peter, Thank you for the kind words and letting me know about the link. It is now fixed.

Glad to hear so! The first one is my favourite, but in the second prelude I used harmonies I will use again in the future.

Hello everyone! Today I bring my project over the past couple days. A piece I have dubbed "Melodic Magic". I was trying to capture a mystic feeling, with a spooky edge for October. For this project I made it in FL Studio, using BBSCO Discover as well as Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra. This is the extended version, but I did make an abridged cut of the song that ends around the three minute mark. I know pieces like this can sometimes be too long at five, but I am hoping the changes and the journey come across to you, the listener! I would also love to know what imagery comes to mind when you hear it. Something that always fascinates me is the way music can represent different stories in everyone's mind. To me, this encompasses a magical journey through a dark and mysterious forest. With some suspense, but also some mystic arts. I hope you enjoy the listen and I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Wish I had scores to offer, but currently I do not have software to do so in FL Studio. (But if there are any suggestions they would be gladly appreciated!) https://on.soundcloud.com/TfZ1z

Thank you so much for this feedback! I appreciate it. I had originally thought about doing something like that. Near the halfway point. Then ended up making an extended version (which is this one) and honestly...that would have been the perfect place to do exactly that. Not opposed to going back and re-working it though! Will definitely post here if I do. Thanks for the listen!
