OscarDude15 Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Trying to recognize and reject the concept of sonata form by presenting transformations of the same motif's in a continuous dynamic every-changing cycle. Looking for constructive feedback... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlarRvohpI0 Quote
Rabbival507 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I'll be honest with you. The only thought the piece gave me was "why the hell is the ending all octaves". I mean, octaves could, of course, add some effect (actually we had a talk about it a few weeks ago), but it's empty harmonically, where at the end of the piece I'd want... even a bit of a reach sound. Of course, you could end it with just one instrument (which, as I saw you know, can also play two notes at once), but you used ALL of them and only have one voice going there. I mean come on who doesn't know this: That's like one of the most beautiful passages this man has ever written. Please, add some harmony there. Unless, of course, you had a reason for that. Quote
Monarcheon Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Not sure what's so experimental about it, unless you're not using the term in the sense of the genre; that is to say, it might be experimental for you. Regardless, it's fine as a piece but is ironically too safe. Harmony is preserved in cross voice motion and despite tonicizing different chords within the progression, I hear at as a modular progression. Your use of cross rhythms and direct metric modulations need particular attention. While I do hate it when people say repetition legitimizes, lack of continuity is even harsher. This is not a through composed piece and yet many of your sections give the impression that it is, creating this bizarre disconnect between what's heard and what's written. 1 Quote
