Luis Hernández Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 The main theme is very catchy. I'm not a big fan of writing in sctirctly classic styles, but I like it. There is a disbalance in the dynamic range. Too loud for forte and too soft for piano. The part with the chords from m. 50 is more ¿modern? There is some enharmonic note that should be fixed like Db in measure 57 (C#?) Quote
Rabbival507 Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Well done! I was about to write a comment but then when I came to press the "Submit" button I was notified that @Luis Hernández posted a comment here, then I read it and... that's exactly what I wanted to say (except for the last line, I didn't notice that), and thought that you wouldn't want to read the same thing twice.

Youngc Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 possible an inversion of the theme of counterpoint? Quote
SergeOfArniVillage Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Really nice work. It’s rare that I hear something so unrepentantly “classical” in style that doesn’t feel like just an exercise in music theory and “correct” writing, so to speak. You really put a lot of heart in this. I enjoyed the entire thing. I have the tiniest nitpick, which I can’t even be certain of, because the tracker will not let me hear page 3, so maybe ignore me. Mss. 77-79, the cantabile, or “sung” passage, I just think the low D in ms. 79 is awkward. There’s no bass voice near it, and the “singer” leaps down a full 10th, which, in my head, sounds odd, in context. I’d recommend either just shoving it up an octave, or taking that F# quarter note, make it a half-note for the singer, and make the low D and A a playful staccato, being like pizzicato violin for the “singer.” Or just totally ignore this, I’m practically splitting hairs here. I really liked this piece, thanks for sharing 😌 Quote

This is what will help me improve, so thanks for your advice. I am also looking to improve the final theme and coda so your suggestion will help with this.
