dude

Hey! Nice work here. I'm quite... wow!! :D I mean, ok, I don't play piano myself (I wish though :( ) but the idea of a train popped right into my mind, especially after bar 9. Interesting. Now as I write, the piece started for a 3rd time and I will let it play again :D And as for your problem? If you choose a piano major, can't you study composition in private or such?

What don't you know? I'll try to explain if I can :) I'm a guitarist

Kalinnikov's symphonies... The two of them... I just fell in love :D

Well, in the 1st place, in order to get some comments ( rather than asking for them) you should comment on other people's work as well. You comment theirs, they will return the favor. That's from what I know and I'm sure there will be some more people that might tell you that. As for the piece, I did enjoy it. Yeah, a bit pop-ish for my taste but nice. The guitar, though I find it too simple. Be it electric guitar or classical guitar... I think I'd get bored to play that. You could make it more interesting and by the way, I couldn't really hear it. Turn it up a little, even though from your post I did understand that the flute is the main instrument. So yeah, nice work, keep it up!! That album might turn into something nice, why not? :) Cheers

I agree with Maelstrom: multiple voices or even just some more complex harmony would make a really great piece out of this one. Then again, it's lovely as it is and really easy and fun to play. @Maelstrom: why using two staves when writing for guitar?

I enjoyed it too. And yes, as gijs said using some adventures to present some of the material in a new harmonic structures would be lovely. Will there be a 2nd and a 3rd part? That would be nice :)

I really liked those arpeggios from bars 35 and 38. Maybe cause I like long arpeggios :P Overall, I liked it but I was expecting to hear the theme from the beginning again (mm. 9-10). It had that something that sticks in your memory and you want to hear it again later. Keep writing! ;)

You could make it longer developing those 3 measures (40-43) which sound new and fresh. I like this one better, tell you the truth. :)

I did enjoy it. It is quite simple and fun to play, I find. I would've liked to see more diversity in the rhythm, though. Other than that you could make the score look better and add some fingering too, and yes, keep writing.

why that, Dominus Vobiscum?

I just hum it on and on... till i get home and i start playing it and then i change smth there and there... and after a while it doesn't even sound as in the beginning. So then I try remembering the original idea but it's long gone in the shadowy corner of my brain :( rotting and decomposing. And then i write a funeral march :D

I've always thought Mahler 5th had some quite nice melodies. Especially in the 2nd movement (7'55'' aand... 8'45''.. those are my favorites :) ). As for "melodist"... Mahler (again, yes) and Liszt.

ok. i find this piece of music rather lovely but.. you should mention the guitar tuning in the score. aaaand hmm... the whole thing after the m.59 sounded something like " sweet home, alabama" .. any influence there? as soon as i heard that part ( the rhythm, especially) it just got me there. and i think the guitar should be played with a pick, right? i found it difficult to play that with the fingers... overall, it's nice, yes. c-ya around

i really like the music you wrote for mandolins. but the guitar part... it is a little bit way to simple and not that interesting. nothing personal or such, but if i ( a guitar player) want to play this i would be kinda bored, you know? those Em's from the overture.. and some other repetitive sequences.. other than that.. quite nice :)

wow... thanks a lot :)
