Persichetti Exercise 4 - 37 for Piano
chopin replied to PeterthePapercomPoser's topic in Piano Music, Solo Keyboard
I can see why you struggled though, the motif is not the easiest. But this is one of your best exercises so far in my opinion, because it encouraged out of the box thinking for this one.- 1 reply

Persichetti Exercise 4 - 5 for Women's Choir
chopin replied to PeterthePapercomPoser's topic in Choral, Vocal
Very serene, and sad at the same time. I feel like this style can be a candidate for some Zelda music perhaps. Or maybe a segue scene in an RPG game. Peaceful, yet you can tell there's still friction in the air. -
Persichetti Exercise 4 - 40 for String Quartet
chopin replied to PeterthePapercomPoser's topic in Chamber Music
Very modern sounding, and I can definitely hear the influence of the pentatonic scale. The harmony makes this scale not sound so sing songy. Nice use of key changing, and after the musical phrase I like how you descend down the scale (such as around 0:36 and 0:39). -
Persichetti Exercise 3 - 52 for Piano
chopin replied to PeterthePapercomPoser's topic in Piano Music, Solo Keyboard
You must have some delay effect on your piano sounds. Cool idea, and the 5/8 rhythm does a good job breaking things up. I feel that it helps conclude the musical phrase pretty well. As far the the harmony goes, its definitely unique. Like always, nice usage of dynamics and rit. towards your conclusion. These types of details help add to the musicality. -
Persichetti Exercise 3 - 50 for Woodwind Quartet
chopin replied to PeterthePapercomPoser's topic in Chamber Music
Hey for an exercise its enjoyable. It's fun to listen to, and I think this is a great way to learn different types of harmony. You stayed true to the motif, which makes it easier to follow. -
Persichetti Exercise 3 - 51 for String Quartet

A fun exercise, and very expressive! I think you should take this idea and turn it into something. Love how you ended it! -
Jingle Bells and Dashing Through the Snow
chopin replied to chopin's topic in Piano Music, Solo Keyboard
Yeah I definitely would have composed more had I composed for this event specifically. I made it so that it loops (for a YouTube short), and most of my effort went into the presentation of the video. But hopefully Music Jotter will be done soon and I can start composing more legitimate works for 2026! -
I composed a Christmas Song! - It went great!
chopin replied to raymond doerr's topic in Orchestral and Large Ensemble
What a beautiful piece. The harmony and key changing is what makes this piece shine, although the short motif is definitely what holds the piece together. This has to be one of the most emotional Christmas submissions here. In fact I get a lot of mixed emotions, and this could very easily be music for a movie scene. My favorite part is at 1:36; that key change is stellar. -
Submission to the 2025 Christmas Music Event
chopin replied to TristanTheTristan's topic in Piano Music, Solo Keyboard
I do not like MuseScore's playback at all, so the fact that I really enjoyed this work despite the questionable playback of MuseScore, tells you everything. This is an impressive work. Is the beginning/ending loosely, Twelve Days of Christmas? After this though, I got so absorbed into your music, I forgot it was a Christmas piece! I don't even care though. You easily captivated my attention for the full 20 minutes, I even went back to listen to the first 5 minutes again because I could swear I heard 12 days of Christmas somewhere! But every part of your work is captivating and you often change it up. I have to say the 2nd half of your piece is even more captivating. This is where we start getting really deep. By this point, Christmas is gone, and we are now in some other dimension. You do manage to bring back 12 days of Christmas about 15 minutes in though, and end on that note. This will of course be an exhausting piece to play. The rigid playback of MuseScore doesn't do this piece justice in my opinion, because I know that if we could get past the rigid playback, this has the potential to sound much more pianistic. -
The main thing about AI music is that it's predictable and boring. After the initial wow that's cool factor, it follows pretty strict templates. Sure it's getting better but compared to a human composition, you lose the creativity. Something like Beethoven's 5th Symphony could never be created by AI. I do an analysis of this symphony here, and you will see why AI can't really do this after you watch my analysis. This video actually helps answer what a composer is too. If AI outputs anything good, it's because its trained on music created by humans. This is why it is important that composer's don't lose their craft. AI music won't improve, and it will get dumber if humans stop composing!

Considering this was above your usually level, then you did a really good job here. Fun motif, excellent dynamics and an overall wintery sounding mood! The piece is also very well structured and easy to follow. The only minor criticism I have is that you stayed strictly in key, but I'm pretty sure this was a conscious decision. If this piece hit the 2+ minute mark, I may then press you a little harder to break out of the scale a tad.

Nice lyrics, and the overall direction and structure of this song is solid. Very calming and the style is fun. You're in a forum where you may have a tough audience because most of us here are composers in some capacity, myself included. Maybe one day you will want to learn this art beyond prompting (lyric writing is a skill too which people should not dismiss here). But in the meantime, you're having fun with Suno which helps create more an interest I believe. I also use AI to create musical parodies btw, my main goal is to create laughs with catchy tunes and lyrics. So my stance on this matter will be a little more on the interesting side, especially coming from someone who is developing a music notation application!

This is EXCELLENT. Points for playing this on the piano. And I love the jazzy style, I absolutely love jazz harmony!
-
Nice layering of the different melodies! At one point I wasn't sure which song I was listening to because you blended them together so seamlessly. Nice change-up of the harmony towards the end.

With Every Beat My Heart Knows
chopin replied to HoYin Cheung's topic in Incidental Music and Soundtracks
I would have so much fun with this tool. But you wrote a fun song with bold key changing and fun harmony. I like how the violin creates friction, but only through your modulations. You then normalize the harmony once SATB comes in. You are right, the lyrics are sometimes a bit garbled, but I would say it's about 90% accurate. It doesn't matter though, most people will get the idea. The lyrics may be less accurate than Suno in terms of vocals, but the trade-off is that you get 100% compositional freedom.
