meister hubert

Hi there,I am right now totally into new classics and often I have to compensate that by writing short classical pieces. This is one of them. The idea came yesterday while I was fiddling around at the piano and had allways this melody in my head (which is awfull, if you try at the same moment to develop an atonal melody^^)The only way to get it out of my head? Write it down! Anyone here with the same problems? =PHope you enjoy, maybe I'll add a score laterArmin Invention in D-Minor

Well it should work, at least I can open the score. Please try it again Thanks Armin

Hi there,I recorded yesterday a Lied of mine. It was a concert from the students of my piano teacher. I performed there my Lied "Wie des Mondes Abbild zittert" with a friend (he's the singer). Unfortunally we had just half an hour to practise, because we are both very busy right now. So the recording isn't that good, but you get the idea....The Poem is from Heinrich Heine (You probably don't know him, he is very famous in Germany. Schumann, Schubert and Brahms used a lot of his poems)This Song is part of a Song Cycle I am working on right nowHere is the recording:http://vimeo.com/24043496EnjoyArmin Wie des Mondes Abbild zitter (Lied) [mp3=meister hubert][/mp3]

Thanks for your opinion. I thought about a change in the contrasting middle section in the accompaniment, but I am not quiet sure yet. But this would maybe fix the repetitive-issue? I don't speak english very well, but I try my best to give a translation: On the green grass, there is grazing this one: a cow, a cow! It's heart is full of longings and there are swimming tears, From time to time, from time to time. What it likes it eats with it's mouth, stomachs it and makes muh! and makes muh! Dreaming and moving it's mouth it looks stupid around, just like you, just like you. I know this one is a bad translation and it doesn't make sense, but you hopefully got n impression of the poem

Hi there,this is a Lied about a cow (a sad one lol)I don't have a recording yet, but hopefully you'll like it=)It is supposed to be sung by a Tenor.Armin Die Kuh (the cow)

Hi there,I wrote this "Lied" (Song), inspired by Schubert. I am listening at the moment to quiet a lot of his work (Love the Winterreise) and wanted to write a Lied as well.I took a poem from Hermann Hesse (had to be German, to be true Schubert-Style) and this is the result:Der BriefThe poem means roughly translated something like:I am not worried about the letter you wrote. You say you don't love me anymore, but your letter is so long. Twelve pages, you wouldn't write so much if you did not love me anymore.I am working on a recording and on the rest of the poem-cycle. But it still might take some time.So long, hope you are looking forward to the recordingArmin Der Brief (the Letter)

The score is now available!

Hey thanks very much guys! Maybe you convince me to make a sonata But first I have to finish other pieces as I said, I still go to school (have quiet a lot of stuff to do) and I need to practice more piano^^ Score will be finished within this week Armin

Hey guys. Cheers for your kind words! I like Beethoven very much, so thats fine for me :cool: I am not gong to make a Sonata it doesn't really has the right form for that. It's more some kind of variations about the theme you hear in the beginning. The score will take a little while, maybe 1 or 2 more weeks, because I have to finish some more important work. Armin hones:

Hi there,I didn't post here for quiet a while so this is probably not the best piece to celebrate my comeback here^^It doesn't have any form or stile, but it has lots of modulations and a nice theme.I'm looking forward to hear your opinions.The piece is recorded with a Steinway C and Rode microphones, the score will follow later (I am not too sure about some notations right now.)Enjoy =) Piano piece i d-minor

Doesn't play for me either. The score looks wired: Is it dorian? You start of with octaves, then the standard C-major comes,, but then: b,c,e? The whole piece also is mainly homophonic, maybe that is going to be a bit boring after a while. But I don't want to judge about the piece until I've heard it (And I am to lazy to take it to a quite place, take the time and listen to it in my head or to play it at the piano ) Armin

Thank you guys! I'll have a look at these bars and at the end, because I asked my teacher. He said, the exposition is supposed to and in the key of the second theme :rolleyes: But maybe I'll leave it, cause then it is special:P Armin

Doesn't sound like the worst in the world I really like it, there some parts which are not that great, but there are a few veeery lovely parts! Overall very good work!!!

Thanks for your reply jaime and thanks for the kind words, too :) By the way, I called the piece "sonata", but I just meant "sonata form". I don't know, why I use minor so often, maybe I just like it more then major :P It's funny that you mention a "Schubertian effect" because the first two bars are from Schubert. As you also said - Sonatas modulate to the dominant - so does mine. Have a look at bar 25. There starts my second theme. It's in C-major, but I know, after a few moments I am again in minor :lol: I read the wikipedia (yes I know.. :unsure: ) article about sonatas and it said that in the exposition there is supposed to be a kind of uncertain feeling about the key or something like that. So should the exposition end again in F-major? That'd be no problem :) Or C-major? I really didn't get it. And thanks for the advice with Mozart, maybe he'll be able to encourage me to write in major :facepalm: Thanks very much! Armin

Hi,this is a homework for school.We had to write 4+4 Bars and we got 2 Bars to continue. I don't know, how these are called in english, maybe someone could help here: (4+4 Bars) (2+2+4 Bars)So what I did: I made 8+8 Bars. And the 8 Bars separate into 2+2+4. And the 4 in 1+1+2.So very complicated ;)After I finished it, I thought "Oh thats nice, let's make a sonata"So I started and made the exposition. I don't know whether it's right, so I thought I just ask before I continue writing.I have first the theme. Then I am modulating to the 5th. Then I have the second theme. Then I have the end-part and then a repetition.Hope also, you like it.All criticism is welcome and any other suggestions as well!Cheers!Armin Exposition

Thank you both! I decided to compose a solo-man-voice in Schubert-style for it. Very slow, very "solemn(?)". The update and the score'll take a while since I am going on holidays tomorrow :phones: And after that the voice'll have to be recorded :facepalm: Anyway, thank you guys Greetings from the snow covered Berlin Armin :santa:

Hi there,I composed a piece for solo harp. Maybe a 2nd voice for a singer will follow, but I am not sure jet.Tell me what you think =)ArminPS: Score will follow soon Solo Concert Harp

I updated the score. There were several mistakes, now it's really better! And don't worry about the seventh going upwards and not downwards - I only do this in the melody and I think that's probably ok :rolleyes: Armin

The theme is not bad, but it lacks at development, instrumentation, etc So overall it's unfortunately pretty boring

Hi there,this composition has no sense at all :DIt's a bad composition when if you just focus on the composition itself, but I think it is nevertheless very funny and nice to hearI thought it sounds a bit like an oriental campfire song, imagine young half-naked women jumping with a jungle ring/tambourine around a huge campfire.I used some of Messiens scales, I think they are very cool!Hope you enjoy it!Armin Campfire Song goes oriental

Alright, my english isn't that great and I don't know all these various expressions :facepalm: Whatsoever, I hope the piano version is ok for now, I haven't anything better yet.

What exactly do you mean with "the real deal"? Unfortunately this piece might be pretty hard to play, because it's in c sharp minor. So it might take a little while until I'll have a proper recording. Thanks, as I said, it might take a little while :P I was thinking about buying Vienna Solostringsamples, but they are far too expensive for me. And I don't need them, because I know how the piece will sound, so I decided not to do it ;) Thank you both Armin PS: I'll discuss this piece next monday with my music theory teacher, he always knows what could be improved :lol:

Hi,this is a piece I wrote today, to practice a bit. This is also the first time I managed to do a proper score, the last times I had troubles with Cubase =PThe mp3 is only a piano preview and does not contain proper dynamics and some other minor things!Comments are very welcome!Greetings from Berlin =)ArminEdit: This is now finished. It will be the 3. movement of a stringquartett I am working on.If you see any octave-parallels or any other mistakes, please point them out. Thanks Streich Quartett

Thanks Marius for pointing that out =) But that's the best sound I've achieved so far. This was the first time I used EQ, Compressor, Reverb and panning. The problem is my equipment: I work on a 2.2 Ghz Laptop with 2GB of Ram, so this project crashed a few times because I overloaded it :facepalm: So I put the instruments in 4 groups and applied for example the EQ to all of them. This was a compromise - not even close to perfection. An other problem is the lack of reverence monitors. I hear the piece with headphones. But I'll have a look on the piece again and try to concentrate on the sound :) Ok, thanks :) I didn't know this so well. But I managed to apply for composing lessons at the music school, so hopefully I'll learn all this stuff about orchestration. This is a program from the governmental music school for people from highschool who want to prepare for university. That's pretty cool, because I receive now 2 music theory lessons, one in composing, one in piano and one in cello for 80€/month. That's awsome, because my parents don't have hat much money :) Thank you both, this was very helpfull, I'll upload a new remixed version in a while Armin

Cool themes! But the stuff around the themes is missing I think. Sounds very cartoon-ish, but as I said a bit more things going on in the music would have been very nice! Something to hold the theme together which jumps from one instrument to an other. Armin
