Awwsome MJM ! I'm really enjoying (as I type) your music. Thank you. ;)

I Quote: .Well, we have to understand that our ear is conditioned by music practice and theory since the middleages. But in the process we might have lost means of expression. So I adhire the opinion that you can do what ever works in a given situation.

Hi Young Prodigy, Welcome. For inspiration: What you could do is listen to music playing backwards (must be an available computer filter I guess)- PCDJ FX - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ seem to do it Don't be affaid to copy something by accident. It happens. Only in commercial settings it could be a problem.

That's OK then :D (the F and the double notes I mean) Its yor baby, and a nice one to

I have heard music (let me recapture that) composed music in my head, ever since I can remember. Not in a quantity that requires medicine, but it seems to have been always with me. (sometimes in sub or near concious, sometimes concious and on occasion vivit and almost like a virtual fever) In retrospect I think it was something I devised not to be lonely or bored. There was no problem because I kept this for myself as beeing something most private. I studied graphic design, photography, and video art. Only to discover that I was in a sense always composing, slowly adding dimensions to this personal understanding of composition. Effords to put music to paper at an early age stranded because at the time what I heard in my head did not work on paper (I was still thinking to liniar and less abstract) , I now have learned that I don't hear seperate notes but I experience the tensions that the chords, the melodies or combinations cause in my brain. This makes it possible to imagine/compose music in a more liniar way again. (am I making sense?) Like Lee's shorthand, this has become my internal shorthand. It certainly boosts remembering music or grasping an idiom. Now, the difficulty is to translate it back again to a written score (and in the process learn the rules). Like johannhowitzer the clear motives, melodies, frases or whole compositions pop up in situations that require some other brain activity like commuting, doing fysical work but also during halfsleep. This state of understanding the innerworks of this virtual composition wears off, for me resulting in numerous unfinished doodles for now, I don't care. My stamina is growing as is the length of the doodles :closedeyes: There is an other problem. I believe there is the handicap that you can't listen to your composition clearly, because youre also listening to your composition knowing what you intent to do. This renders ME a littlle (lot?) deaf to my own effords. I am now experimenting with singing to a tape recorder (poor thing!) to develop ideas. It also forces me to think through the measures, because in my head I tend to skip everything obvious.

I agree with Chad dream eyes I would even say it reminds me of Buxtehude organ music. The midi file produces an organ sound overhere Is this this not intended for strings? hear a 4th voice (which could be two strings on a violin) paralel octaves in measure 6 and 11 the f in the base, measure 43 is probably intended to be a g-note? A galant nice composition :closedeyes:

You're right, but they are coming close.

Well I care about the rules... (if I would only know them lol) At the risk of seeming a creepy crawler, I agree with Nico. accept that in this short piece you allready captured a baroque atmosphere. there is something off a theme inside but it is not firmly defined. and if it was it would proof to weak to sustain throughout the piece. PLEASE do not give up! start again, and loose the scales.

funny, for me it is just the other way around. The magic flute seems less complex for the orchestra, so you might say it is in this respect more ingenius. Ranking music is ludacris of course. Its just like real life, you can love something (-one) in a for that unic relation fitting way. math without an equation, how do you like that

Very nice, don't be discouraged by the download /comment ratio. could be insecurety of your fellow composers :) A strong start, all the notes are in place. the repetion makes the crecendo decrecendo a bit to present. Very nice long notes/chords after the repetition I would love to here one of the voices continue this movement as you pick up the motive of the beginning. I could do without measure 13 and 14, they stick out LOVE!!! :D 18 19 20. elongate a few measures more (because you didn't finish your musical sentence) then pick up speed again. At 27 I get the idea that a piece of music is missing and from 28 on the music suddenly dies VERY pictural,(portraying the death of the prey) but also a bit un musical :( In general: good instincts, good ideas which deserve more time to develop (I mean in measures) I think you have a little gem in your hands if you polish it some more.

yes, there is. My guess is that we follow certain chord progressions, a combination of nature and nurdture :thumbsup: It is up to the composer to dissolve curtain progressions and to start a new sequence. hit me!

Hello Lee, Love :wub: the piece!!! but how ever hard I try,.... I can't understand the tempo. :o TO FAST, at the brink of beeing unmusical. Harsh words of a newbie who so deeply respects your work. :thumbsup: I hope you don't mind me beeing so outspoken.

In my opinion it would be wise not to flood the fora. In this way each individual work might get the attention it deserves and so give enough space to observe/listen and learn. If you catch the attention of the experts, good on you. It might be flattering to get comments on your own work but my personal interest is to learn-discover. I find I learn and broaden my horizon studying the music and reading the comments of other composers. Thanks for the link! Artisimo :)

Thank you, I really enjoyed your contribution. I also learned a lot of CaltechViolist's comment. Though I'm not sure to agree on all comments, he realy gives an indepth comment. I toke a peek on the internet and found more of your fine compositions. please share! could you publish the link to the score?

Hey great!!!! another composer making harpsicord music :) I think it should be in the piano forum, because its also keyboard. Neat little piece, galant. like the texture/ movement, I wish I had thought of that :wacko: some unstable moments though in tonality. But please make some more , yeah, yeah :blush: Sehr gut Herr FPSchubertII
