September 20, 20169 yr Some time ago, I wrote music (piano solo) for the silent movie The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, synchronizing music and image and, by the way translating the titles into Spanish. After that, I extracted two suites. This is the first. From m. 140 to m. 153 you will notice a quotation (harmonized in a peculiar way) of a song by The Beatles from Sgt. Peppers: For the Benefit of Mr. K... It corresponds to the scene of the fair in the movie. Of course it is very different to listen and to wath it.
September 20, 20169 yr I don't actually know the film you're talking about, so my comments might not be fair nor warranted, but I'll do my best. From what I see, it's a horror film from the 1920's, and just from that, I feel like you captured that type of feeling very well. Nitpick: m. 336, might want to have the right hand transfer to the bottom staff for the sake of keeping the treble note clear. I really like the canonic figure at m. 43; it's subtle and is a great change from the previous section. Some of your rolls might benefit from having staff transfer as well, but they're pretty okay for the most part. I know it's movie music so there's bound to be some odd changes, there's some abrupt changes in here, or ones that feel shoehorned in a little bit. Again, I know it's a movie scene I don't know. Overall, I do like the unsettled atmosphere that covers this whole piece. Well done.
