Alexx Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) I like it. Pentatonic makes the coloring of the piece some exotic. The most interesting as for me was the transitions between 4/4 and 6/8. You excellent have done them. These measures are very different and it is difficult to connect such unsimilar parts.

Luis Hernández Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 It's fantastic, I love it. I don't see the use of 2/2 and cut time. Usually this is used in faster tempos. Or a strong pulse + a weaker one.... 1 Quote

Glad that u enjoyed it. 8 hours ago, Luis Hernández said: It's fantastic, I love it. I don't see the use of 2/2 and cut time. Usually this is used in faster tempos.

caters Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 Maybe 4/4 would fit better to the Andante? Same notes, same measures, just the beat is on the quarter note. I mean, you essentially wrote it in 4/4 and then put in the wrong time signature. Other than the time signature issue, I like the piece. You transition so well into the 6/8. And is it in G sharp minor? It is very pretty and dreamy. G sharp minor is such a rare key for me to hear, rarer than F# major or even Ab minor, which themselves are rare keys. 1 Quote
Samuel Francis 傅经鸿 Posted October 26, 2019 Author Posted October 26, 2019 @caters Thanks for the feedback! Okay I will look again into the time signature. And yes it is G sharp minor. Likewise it isnt a key i would normally listen to or write in either. xD Quote
