Hello, @Liaway! Welcome to the Young Composers Forum! Just to start, this topic is dedicated to piano and keyboard works, so while you'll see a lot of classical pieces here, it's perfectly fine to post anything that fits the instrumentation. Don't worry, your work is a great fit for this space! You'll probably receive detailed feedback later from composers who are far more knowledgeable than I am, but I’d like to share a few thoughts of my own first. My first impression was that this is a really gorgeous and nice piece. It has a rich, full sound, and I enjoyed listening to it, especially the first section. I also liked the interesting progression in the section starting at 10:48. On the other hand, the volume balance in the part starting at 2:28 and around 5:15 stood out to me; it felt extremely quiet. I found the section from around 6:52 to 10:40 a bit repetitive—honestly, it started to feel a little tedious. It feels like there are so many ideas packed in that being a bit more selective could really help the piece come together better. Of course, that’s just my personal preference. Also, overall, it seems like you're still getting the hang of handling articulations in your DAW. It can be bothersome work, but since it's a piano piece, simply tweaking those details could create a much deeper, better listening experience. Then again, that’s just something that comes with practice. Oh, and one small thing—the title in the topic header is listed as "Opp." :) Well, I wasn't even composing when I was 15... so the fact that you can create something like this at that age is amazing. I’m not in the music industry myself, so I can't say for sure, but it seems like you have a very high level of skill in composition for your age. I guess you have studied music formally, maybe. Anyway, I’ve pointed out a few things, but I think the piece itself is great! There are many wonderful people in this forum, so I hope you enjoy it! Best, Lithl.

Hi everyone, This composition that i present here is small in duration 1:30 minutes. It is called "Spiral Into Darkness". It is based on a new composition that i wrote firstly in the piano. It has many dark themes and melodies, which with the usage of choirs sound ethereal and otherworldy. There is also usage of percussion in an avant-garde sense. You can imagine a dark passage with a spiral staircase leading to lower and lower parts, which reflect the inner fields of the listener. I would like to hear about your opinions about it and your reviews. Spiral Into Darkness Thank you, Lampros Marantos

Hello my friends . Here my latest binary Sonata no 25 . I hope you like it

Hello, I've found your stuff on youtube before. I enjoyed your music then and I also really enjoyed this piece. When your music ends...there is a sense of longing for a bit more. Personally, I don't get that often from most music... I am someone who listens to some classical music here and there and has some classical training on piano. Enough to appreciate it, but probably not enough to be able to analyze and understand the structures/conventions of the time period. All I can say is that if I listened to your music and listened to some of the greats from Mozart/Beethoven, I really can't tell any different. You could have posted here your piece was a brand new manuscript from the 1800's from a major well known composer and I would have believed it. Your music is really quite something. I wonder if you ever write music in other genres?

Hello, I listened to it twice. When you say corrupted, it made me think of this piece by Denisov: it's pretty long. The first 10 minutes is just Schubert (can you probably skip through it, if you want), but it gets a bit weird, no longer just Schubert, perhaps corrupted at around the 10 min mark and by the end of the song it gets pretty weird before returning to a bit more normal. There are parts of the song where it doesn't really feel like classical music anymore, definitely noticed something off at measure 70. And around measure 105 is when it really becomes noticeable to me. I can recognize a theme that persists throughout, even as you change things up, so that's nice. I think there is some notation issue at measure 84? Not sure 100% about the tied note. The part at measure 50 reminds me a bit of that famous Mozart variation, I think in A major?

Hello @UncleRed99 The slow, rich underlaying brass lines provide rich harmonic counterpoint to the trumpet tap part. It so somber, yet so bittersweet. I can imagine this being played when they lower solider down in his grave. So sad but needed at the correct moment. Sometimes, music is there to remind that death is always tragic, but it brings a peaceful closure to one's man heroic journey.
