Pavlos Hatzipolakis Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Hello. I'd like to share my 3 movement sonata with you, an opus i honestly feel deep in every note of every movement. -1st movement: Greatly inspired by Chopin's prelude in C minor and by his generally captivating ostinatos. It is meant to make you feel sorrowfull, grieve and that nobody loves you. -2nd movement: In general meant to make you feel happy. The coda at 3.00 is meant to convey the feelings of reminiscence, similar to Beethoven's 2nd Pathetique movement. -3rd movement: The idea is to contraddict the previous movements to a fast paced, colourfull, mood changing back and forth feeling. Ment to make you feel anxious, crazy, happy, melancholic and mostly in tension. Comment always highly appreciated. Thank you in advance MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu Piano Sonata in G sharp - 1st mov - Moderato Piano Sonata in G sharp - 2nd mov - Gay Piano Sonata in G sharp - 3rd mov - Allegro > next Quote
Pavlos Hatzipolakis Posted April 17, 2019 Author Posted April 17, 2019 The word ''Gay'' in the 2nd mov it is of course not meant to offend anyone. Quote
Monarcheon Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 First of all, don't be so preoccupied with writing with the intent of making anyone feel anything specific. You're going to lose that battle against your audience. Secondly, I'm going to focus in on the second movement. I feel like sometimes you're going for something complex when it doesn't have to be. Your deceptive cadences are lovely, especially in the coda, but your brief modulations and borrowed chords sometimes are ineffective at maintaining tone (happy or "reminiscent" as it may be). The most egregious one was hearing Ab->E using the flattened dominant as a secondary common tone. The voice leading also leaves something to be desired. I only mention this because it was supposed to be similar to the Pathetique sonata, but the contrast between open intervals in the bass and a very squirrel-y melody line sometimes exacerbated some of the more noticeable harmonic changes. It's a nice movement with a clear plan, but some of its moment-to-moment progressions took me out of it sometimes. Quote
Luis Hernández Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 I focus on the first part. I like the feeling of calm and uneasiness at the same time. Also, the change at 2:55. Quote
