Hemio Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Hello? I am Hemio who studies composition as a hobby in Korea. I am not good at English so I can hardly communicate deeply, but I will try. This is a piano music that represents the Egyptian goddess. Quote
Luis Hernández Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 It's nice. Although that chromatic theme is like an exaggerated obstinate (to my ears) I see it provides color to the notes under it. Quote
Monarcheon Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 I'm not going to lie, at measure 14 I was kind of disappointed. It could have been a really cool chromatic etude or something, but the functional harmony kind of took out the drive and character for me a bit. When returning to your A material, it could be cool to see something change about it every time... the chromatics are already intense, so to see intensity go up exponentially garners good audience reaction.

Jarron.Carlson Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Hello Hemio! I like this piece! Sounds like it would be so much fun to play! It also looks challenging. Jumpy chords can be difficult for the pianist, especially when hand position is quickly changing. I love the low octave theme and motifs you use all over this piece! I wish that they would become more developed as the piece goes on, though. It seems to me that it stays roughly the same the whole piece. You show us the theme in different textures or rhythms, but it never actually gets developed. Maybe if you get a chance to look at this composition again, you could think about this? Thanks for sharing this wonderful piano piece! Quote
notice_me_maestro Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 This piece is so exciting! It reminds me of a soundtrack to a silent film. I agree with Jarron.Carlson that it has good emotion, but lacks substance. I could see this as an accompanying part of a melody, maybe consider adding another instrument such as voice or violin. I think you could do this without changing the piano part much. I can see how the Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet inspired you to write this. Please write more music about Egyptian gods, I enjoyed this one so much! Quote
