I had developed many of the ideas in this work back in 2018 but having recently revisited it I found myself unsatisfied with the result. Curiously, while I have been an ardent perfectionist for as long as I can remember, and I believed the standards lived up to my expectations at the time, there were numerous errors! It just shows how irrational perfectionism can be around skills that essentially develop with experience. One by-product of perfectionism can also be that one leaves many unfinished works that had hit a brick wall. in some ways, this was one of them. This exercise in revisiting such projects was enjoyable and I will need to dig out more unfinished works to look at. Hope you enjoy, and please subscribe to my channel if you like.

Hi @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu! It's a cute little piece but not without its complexities! Like, for example, the first musical statement is a double period with elision that leads into your second C minor tonal area. Although because of your heavy emphasis on G, I don't really feel like you ever really arrive in C minor and you quickly return to the G major theme. When you return to the main theme the phrase structure stays the same, but you vary up the modality of the 2nd theme, opting to stay in G major instead of C minor or G minor. The final statement of the A theme you marked scherzando which is appropriate because it's the third time that the listener is exposed to the material and hence starts to expect the piece to conclude soon. So going faster gives a sense of excitement, exhilaration and rushing towards the end which makes the end sound that much more conclusive when it comes. Great job and thanks for sharing! It's not surprising that this piece is doing well in terms of views on YouTube, since it is quite accessible and fun!

It's not extremely phenomenal but of course very solid groundwork tbh I posted that ss on the server channel hoping someone might play it or even finish off where I left off lol if anyone is interested go look at our discord lol

Ever since listening to music I loved in childhood, I felt like I could easily come up with really great music in my imagination and thought that it would be awesome and fulfilling to be able to actually create that music in real life. Now I consider musical composition my 'originative intellectual work' and listening to my own music induces great fulfillment and 'peak experiences'.
