We're all ages, and any age is welcome here. For instance, the staff ranges from 20's to 40's. The "young" is also for experience and time spent composing, which I've noticed plenty of adults using the forum to help them wherever they are in their studies. Plus, the actual young members here could benefit from a wealth of knowledge you have that you may not see as musical attributes. For example, you said you're going to pitch this song and/or others. We'd love to hear about how that goes, since many talented musicians struggle with executing the more business side of their art. Any advice or critique people give you regarding your music is ultimately opinion. Take what I or others have to say, and you either implement those ideas or you don't. It's ok to disagree with a critic. It's your music 🙂 I tend to favor a variety of textures with music, but 9000 metal bands would disagree with me. Take care of yourself, friend. Hope to hear more from you

Thanks for the feedback 🙂 It was not my objective to make an full imitation of the baroque style, although the piece is obviously inspired by it. This piece is only for modern pianos and not meant for baroque instruments, observe that it has pedalling markings.

Hi @Cafebabe! Please note that some of your previous YT video submissions to the forum can't be reviewed because the video is private and can't be viewed by our members! Prelude - this piece is quite unidiomatic for a Baroque piece since the instruments of the era did not have a quick enough action for the players to be able to repeat notes as quickly as you require here. The harmony and melodic lines are also quite haphazard and illogical. I think this is a result of the piece being conceived in the sequencer/DAW/notation program which grants it a certain artificiality. Invention - I think that this is the better of the two pieces in the set. Up to measure 63 the invention is very well conceived both harmonically and melodically! After that you seem to default to a chordal/harmonic approach that isn't very suited towards writing an invention. Those are my thoughts. Thanks for sharing!
