CalibriStandard Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Wrote a short piece based on some themes I got from improvising. I tried to fit them into a sort of ABA form, ith A coming back differently. Would be interested in your opinion on how you thought this worked out. Starts off like a Chopin nocturne, then the B part is sort of Tchaikovsky piano concerto, then A part returns but with concerto accompaniment.

Bradley Scarff Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Very well written, sounds like something one would lazily play in the back of a salon, I will note your inspiration for the ad lib section, I feel more could be done with that. Maybe some more chromaticism and embellishments if your going for a more romantic feel. It sounds superb though so don't take my word as gospel. One serious recommendation, possible lengthen it, modulate and explore your ideas, it's a fantastic statement. you could do a lot with it. Edited May 7, 2020 by Bradley Scarff Quote

Guillem82 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Yes, that's indeed a very chopin-like composition. And thanks for the references, I start playing it before reading at the text and thought immediately in E-flat Chopin's Nocturne... I find Chopin's harmony quite complex, so congratulations, your really got the style. 1 Quote
Aled Edwards Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 It sounds very nice, but I would just make it longer 1 Quote
