I wrote this one back in 2014 while exploring triplets in waltz form. Ten years later, I thought it'd be fun to revise and share it with you guys. It originally had a "Waltz" in the title, but I decided to change it to Étude Scintillante (or Scintillate Etude), which roughly means "sparkling study," since the high triplets remind me of sparkly stuff. If that makes sense. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi @Krisp! Sorry for my late reply. I have been real busy these few months and the energy remaining I used it for composing, so I didn’t review at all until last week when I finally finish a part of my work! Your tone colour is so contrasting here. Almost for every sentence you change the timbre, harmonic colour, texture and mood! And the music doesn’t sound disorganised at all! That’s amazing. Your ability to shape colour is always something to be learned from. The build up near 1:53 is so wonderful, but the contrast in 1:55 is even more so! 3:29 contrabassoon is so evil!And I like the organ ending! But I love the whole piece’s colour and I am just too lazy to point them all out LoL! You sing too well here! It’s hard to sing with your expressiveness and with your understanding of the music (off you are the composer!) your vocal is so speech like and lively. Those high jumps and rhythm are for sure difficult, but you handle them really well! Congrats on this. Thx so much for sharing Jean! Henry

It's been far too long since I've been able to sit down and dedicate any length of time to a piece. Life has just gotten busy, so...this evening while having some free time I decided to sit down and try to finish this piece! It's a suite of themes that I decided to string together and call..."The Return Home". Some portions of it have a grand sound that I relate to a Lord of the Rings feeling (but not nearly as impressive in my opinion). The piano takes a fairly lead role amongst the symphony. With features in there from woodwinds, choir, and a few others. I hope you enjoy the listen! I've enjoyed spending my time working on this one and personally feel that the stretched out approach may have improved the end piece. Allowing me to come back every few days and listen again with fresh ears. Tweak and change. And this is where it remains now! As always, this was put together in FL Studio using a variety of VSTs. BBCSO Discover, LABS, a couple Spitfire Originals. Looking forward to hearing some feedback!

Hi, this is my first advanced piano solo composition . Would love some feedback. Thank you.

I was criticized on another forum for the lack of context of my presentation : It is therefore a piece completed a week ago, for solo voice (mine, baritone) orchestra, church organ, orgue de barbarie at the end (I'm not sure about the translation of the name of this instrument, if you can help me by the way... Barrel organ Seems strange). I use sample libraries. The voice is recorded with a Schoeps MK4 couple in XY. The poem is a rise in tension of a dialogue that goes wrong, between the husband's murderous jealousy and the wife's falsely mystical answers (who has the last word by finally proclaiming her freedom). Have a good day,
