Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I really like this since it's in C sharp minor! Your voicing is great. Why do you modulate to F minor in the middle section? Just curious about that. Henry Quote

Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 That's a good experiment then! Quote
Luis Hernández Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I lie the piece, although the modulation is weird. The change to F min is disconnected but it sounds nice, but the transition back to G# - C#m is weird (second part of m. 8). Quote
mercurypickles Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Running contrary to what @Luis Hernández said, I actually thing the modulation is quite beautiful. Unexpected, but lovely! Then again, I'm also a bit of a sucker for strange modulations to very distantly related keys, to me it sounds magical. To each their own! This was lovely. : ) Edited February 11, 2023 by mercurypickles Quote
Omicronrg9 Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 I am a little between Luis and Mercury in this case. While I liked the transition to F-, it sounded a bit abrupt and disconnected to me because of the silences and not because of the harmony progression itself. All in all, a great piece, which seems to be the norm on your works. Kind regards, Daniel–Ømicrón. Quote
Carl Koh Wei Hao Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 Like what others have said, I feel that the modulation from C-sharp minor to F minor in m. 5 is slightly abrupt. It may be because the interval between the notes in each voice (bass, tenor, and alto) is too distant, making the transition a little rough. Also, the modulation from F minor to G-sharp minor in m. 8 feels a bit awkward - it might be because of the jump of an augmented fourth (D natural to A flat) in the alto. Besides, there is an overlap in the bass and tenor registers in m. 8-9: i.e. the bass moves up from C-flat to A-sharp in m. 9, which is higher than the A-flat in the tenor in m. 8. A better voice progression would be as follows: Overall, it's a decent piece, although improvements may be needed. I particularly like the first five measures of the piece, as well as the pause at the submediant chord of F minor in m. 8. Keep up the good work! Quote
