Thank you, Zetetic, for your comment, I appreciate it. :) I don't know very much about music, but I thought that this chord progression is commonly used progression, since 17th century (it was used by Telemann, Bach and Vivaldi) - Handel wrote an entire Passacaglia (from Suite No. 7 in G minor) using these chords. It is also quite frequent in classical and romantic music (Mozart’s Sonata in F major K 332, my favorite :wub:). Yes, I suppose it is often found in pop songs as well, but I don't think it makes a big difference between the “old music” and pop songs. Thanx again for your interest, Dijana

I'm a slow writer too - I have to be in the mood, it has to be morning (I can't write late in the evening :))... there are too many parameters. And I usually spend a couple of hours that day just for starting the piece. It definitely depends on the piece i.e. music period (whether its baroque, classical, romantic or modern composition) i.e. instrumentation - I'm faster on piano music and pretty slow on string quartets. At the moment I'm struggling on Haydn-like string quartet in d minor, and it's really a painful experience :)

It's really good, I would be very pleased about myself if this was mine. Your ideas are great, and you have very nice style. I trully enjoyed listening to this. Keep up the good work, please.

Thank you Matthaeus, it's nice to know that someone likes my music :) ;)

Scores: Inventio in d n.2.pdf

Thanx for the comments. :) Yes, each exposition of the theme is in the same key - because I thought that transposition to relative major sounds boring and eventually I decided not to use it. Maybe it was a mistake. Any other suggestions are welcome too, the piece is not in it's final form.

Hi, this is my new piano composition, I would like very much to hear your opinion. Here is mp3: Invention in d n.2.mp3. Unfortunatelly, I don't have the scores right now, but I'm working on it :)

It's beautiful, very good

Thank you for replies and for liking my composition, :) I know it's not masterpiece - it's only my second completed work, so there are many details (and big issues) for me to learn along the way. I'm glad you liked the atmosphere, and that general impression was nice (I think that's important, and the rest can be learned ;)) Diana

Score - in attachment mp3 - here :) Variations for String Trio, op.2.pdf

This is my new prelude for harp (?) I know :) I don't know the first thing about harps :) but like them anyway. It's not very long composition so hopefully you won't be bored too much. It supposed to be kind of sad. I hope that this is playable on real harp. Here is link: Prelude in e minor for harp (Diana Tolic).mp3

hehe, I know - but their form is like Scarlatti's, I think it would be very wrong to call them 'sonatas', because somebody could think of Beethoven's sonatas and we don't want that :) thank you very much for your replies

Hi. I wrote this few months ago as an experiment. Here are 3 audios, let me know what you think about them: Sonata n.1 (harpsichord) in A major Diana Tolic.mp3 Sonata n.1 (piano and flute) in A major, arr. Marko Slavicek.mp3 Sonata n.2 (harpsichord) in d minor Diana Tolic.mp3 Sorry but I don't have scores , but I'm working on that ;) Diana

Thanx. I'm note sure about baroqueish part, I would say that style is little bit messy. Two of my experienced colleges compositors (one baroque freak, another one romantic freak :) ) also couldn't help me with classification. Mainstream maybe. But yes, I tend to use baroque harmonies, since they are simple (6 months ago didn't know what tonic/dominant/subdominant is :O) and they serve me well for now. Only criticism I've received refered to last variatio: key is E flat major (instead of C major) - the last note sholud be tonic :). thanx for your reply :)

Hi again, I have finished this work for string trio, and would appreciate your feedback. I'm not sure what style is this, instruments are violin, viola and cello. It's not very long composition, about 6 minutes or so, and it consists of five variations, on 'Brother Peter' theme but in c minor instead in major. Yes I know that sounds wierd but it's not, I promise. :) Inspiration was Mahler's 1st symphony, 3rd movement, so I decided to dedicate one variatio to him (4th, can't miss it) and if you have listened to Titan you'll recognize it. The 5th variatio is mostly in E flat major, I wanted a kind of 'brigther' ambience for ending (like Beethoven's fifth but in wrong key :toothygrin:). I intended to compose much more variations at first, but than I decided to end it after 5th one. Maybe later I'll get back to this, but chances are poor. This is my op.2 which means I have much to learn, so feel free to suggest something and criticise me. :) Variations in c minor for string trio, op.2 Diana Tolic.mp3
