this is a bit of a vent piece and a self-soothing one. ive realized that one of my uses of composition is as means of escapism too. also keeping the titling convention of "To ...." of my woodwinds pieces. to look at your phone, to scroll through social media, to see strangers go out, doing activities with their friends and partners, to observe their poses as they look ever so content, to envy their posted achievements of their life, to fantasize how it looks like if you were out there having your own fun, to then have a dilemma of the smokes and mirrors of social media, to realize these posts are just highlights of their special days, to notice and understand their hidden struggles behind the pictures, yet, despite all of that, they still had those days. they still had the reminiscence of their experience. they still experienced them while youre here, stuck, as the world moves so fast around you, as you fantasize your own contentment alone. enjoy. feedbacks are welcomed.

Thank you for offering! I inteded this to be played on a italian harpsichord, and yeah i know about the manuals and stops, i'm a harpsichordist myself. It would be lovely if you could play it, because the harpsichord i play on i have access to it only once a week.

You’re welcome! Depending on the notation software you are using, there should be ways to get rid of excess measures or bound measures to a system. I had to spend some time on my own with my software just reading the handbook or shortcuts for this stuff lol

Hello M.K Piano, Thank you very much for the constructive feedback. I have tried to correct the score accordingly. Unfortunately, I was unable to successfully shorten the final bar. I must admit that some of these errors arise repeatedly because of the formatting, such as the incorrect ties on the pedal point. Thanks again. Fantasia with a change of mood new version.pdf

well less than a month later, i finally had the chance to comment on the piece more it definitely sounds operatic. i could definitely see this being like one of the first numbers of an opera. i could also imagine the orchestral sounds coming from the piano. the piece fits the text well. i like the subtle harmonic changes when the text sings the notice of a change, it feels like the desire to comprehend the changes around them. its gradual as well, from a month, two months, four months, as it leads to a climax. i like that the question at the end is cleverly treated as a punctuation, both in the music and in the text, before the final cadence. i like the sketch as well, its definitely virtuosic but i like the effective use of the piano figure as it travels to different harmonic context. the little introduction before the main stuff is also a good contrast to accentuate the preceding section. thanks for using my less than desirable poems lmao, and writing a little sketch dedicated to me!!

Hello! On first glance at the score, no, it is not suitable for piano performance. Mainly caused by the page layout and measure size. Below, I have attached some annotations for you and a separate PDF of what is normal to see for a pianist. (Girl with a Flaxen Hair by C. Debussy) Photo.pdf Tristan - Revised Fantasie [ANNOTATED].pdf

Hello, what a lovely little work! Did you intend for this to be played on the specific type of harpsichord (French or Italian)? Depending on the builder, you can have two manuals and most come with a lute stop. I have two I can access at my university and can try it out sometime within the next two weeks. :)

Hey y’all! I hope you are doing great. A couple of months ago, I was asked to write a string quartet for the University of Michigan to perform. Though many other composers also premiered their own works, I could tell in rehearsal with these string players that there was so much fun to looking into something more conceptual, though I tried as not to make it too contemporary. I also got to speak with the composition director at University of Michigan Dr. Roshane Etezady, who’s a wonderful sweet person as well as some conductors and composers. It took about a month to write, and with only 6 minutes to write I had to shorten a lot because I was so captivated by this opportunity. Thank you for listening and feel free to check out any files or anything! I have a YouTube and an Audio.com, but I would keep to the YouTube, I upload more often.
