  1. I liked what i heard but it cuts off (at least for me) only after about a minute. If you upload an updated version, I'd love to hear it.
  2. Much appreciated! I myself cannot play the piano at all so your comments about its playablity are particularly helpful.
  3. I came up with this after messing around over the past couple weeks. It has some pretty sudden shifts in textures and harmony, just looking for opinions if there are areas that sound really off.
  4. Cool little etude. Kind of reminds me of Shostokovich.
  5. Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. I did struggle on the second movement (slow tempo movements/pieces come less naturally to me) but it at least was started around the time the other movements were completed which helped to at least maintain some continuity.
  6. After a bit of a dry sepll, I finally finished this piano sonata which is intended to be in the Mozart/early Beethoven style (I'm a big fan of Beethoven's early sonatas). I had finished the first and third movements awhile ago and only recently finished a version of the second movement which I am still unsure about but welcome any impressions.
  7. Hi there, I'm in a similar situation as you as I've been trying to pick the violin back up after a very, very long hiatus (my daughter has been taking violin lessons, inspiring me to pick it back up so we can play together). I have no real suggestions aside from your tone quality is quite good and I think with just practicing regularly, you should get up to speed in no time. Best of luck!
  8. Wow, this is very impressive, more polished than just a "sketch." I really enjoyed this, certainly worthy of being a movement in a symphony. I just think it's too long as it starts to repeat a bit too much (for my taste at least) but there is certainly enough material for a full movement.
  9. Man this sucks. I have been a loyal Finale user since college (which is a long time in my case). How is Dorico? I suppose I probably should get it with the discount offered but wondered what the learning curve is.
  10. Such a beautiful work, I can tell you put your heart and soul in this piece. Congratulations! Slava Ukraini!
  11. This is wonderful and I love the vocal rendering. I'll have to check out this website!
  12. Wonderful, reminds me of early Beethoven. No comments other than my sincere admiration.
  13. Again, always great to hear actual performances of compositions. Reminds me of Alkan's Rondo Toccata from, his Op. 76 which similarly is a very fast movement where both hands play almost identical notes but two octaves apart.
  14. A beautiful performance of a lovely prelude. Congrats to both the composer and performer!
