E.Frantz Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 This is kinda like a thru-written sonata, it has three short parts, and the ending is a bit unresolved, also this is a Finale playback too, enjoy! PDF Evan Frantz Op.15 No.1.4 - Score Quote
Rabbival507 Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 @E.Frantz I'll be honest with you- it sounds like a bunch of random themes to me. Each theme stands by itself well, but there's no... big picture. Try and separate them into groups or something. Take each one and give him his own... say one minute piece. Quote
SergeOfArniVillage Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 I agree with Rabbival on all counts. It doesn’t sound cohesive, probably because it is “thru-written.” There’s interesting ideas that really merit their own consideration and development, but together, feels like patchquilt made from 3 random fabrics. I would suggest taking each part, and developing it into maybe three separate pieces (as was suggested above), perhaps even developing each theme into a cohesive 2+ minute long piece. It could still be part of a “set”, but not part of the same “piece”, which would be better. Does your program lack dynamics and pedaling? The lack of both is killing your piece’s playback. Of course, no one should judge a piece by MIDI playbacks in general, but dynamics go a long way in making it more listenable in the moment. I appreciate the work you put into this, it has potential. Thanks for sharing! Quote
E.Frantz Posted November 3, 2018 Author Posted November 3, 2018 Thanks @Rabbival507 and @SergeOfArniVillage For your comments and critique!! Yes I’m liking the idea of three separate parts , will have to play around with that! As for pedal marks etc.. I’m lazy sometimes with my scores! and totally agree with you @SergeOfArniVillage midi does not do my works justice! Quote
